Dear mailing-list members, In the days of cheap RAM and microarray applications feasting on memory, 64-bit computers become more and more useful - to actually make use of memory beyond the magic 4GB border. I would like to report the success of running 64-bit R on an Intel Xeon EM64T machine under Linux. Just like on an AMD Opteron, R v2.0.0 compiles fine (and out of the box) and is happily allocating memory until RAM and swap reach their limit.
Hardware: - HP xw6200 workstation - dual Intel Xeon 3.4GHz with hyper-threading enabled - 4GB RAM, 4GB swap System: either - Fedora Core 2 x86_64 bit Linux or - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 3.0 x86_64 bit R: - v2.0.0 Really, no problems at all during setup, a big thank you to the R developers making this possible! Best wishes, Michael ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
