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'?

Hi,

I have a 64 bits machine (Windows) with a total of 192GB of physical memory
(RAM), and total of 8 CPU. 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.
