After memory.limit(1500), the error message still pop out: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 11529 Kb
While > memory.size() [1] 307446696 > memory.limit() [1] 1572864000 And the system is only using 723MB physical memory, while 2G is the total. Does anyone have a clue of what is going on?

See ?Memory or the the R for Windows FAQ, which tells you: "2.7 There seems to be a limit on the memory it uses! Indeed there is. It is set by the command-line flag --max-mem-size (see How do I install R for Windows?) and defaults to the smaller of the amount of physical RAM in the machine and 1Gb.

Either use the command line flag --max-mem-size=1500M or within R: memory.limit(1500) > > Error in memory.size(size) : cannot decrease memory limit Since your limit was roughly 10^6-times off the right one, you got an integer overflow internally, I think.
