It has this heading: ## run a simulation, keep only the results that worked. If your system is Windows, you can also try to increase the memory available for one application, in order to avoid the problem. Do a search for "3GB switch" HTH Dr. Ruben H. Roa-Ureta Senior Researcher, AZTI Tecnalia, Marine Research Division, Txatxarramendi Ugartea z/g, 48395, Sukarrieta, Bizkaia, Spain -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Michael Haenlein Enviado el: miércoles, 21 de septiembre de 2011 11:54 Para: [email protected] Asunto: [R] Cannot allocate vector of size x Dear all, I am running a simulation in which I randomly generate a series of vectors to test whether they fulfill a certain condition. In most cases, there is no problem. But from time to time, the (randomly) generated vectors are too large for my system and I get the error message: "Cannot allocate vector of size x". The problem is that in those cases my simulation stops and I have to start it again manually. What I would like to do is to simply ignore that the error happened (or probably report that it did) and then continue with another (randomly) generated vector. So my question: Is there a way to avoid that R stops in such a case and just restarts the program from the beginning as if nothing happened? I hope I'm making myself clear here ...
