You are on a 64-bit machine, but are you using 64-bit R?
Are you using memory intensive constructs like those discussed in Circle 2 of 'The R Inferno'? http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/R_inferno.pdf Pat On 20/05/2012 17:09, Emiliano Zapata wrote:

I wanted to ask how can I make R make use of all the memory. I recently ran a script requiring approximately 92 GB of memory to run, and got the massage: cannot allocate memory block of size 2.1 Gb I read on the web that if you increase the memory you have to reinstall R; would that be enough. Could I just increase the memory manually. Take you for any comments, or links on the web.
