Re: [R] 64-bit R on Intel Xeon EM64T running fine

[Roger D. Peng]

This is good news.  As far as I know R has built for quite some time 
now on a number of 64 bit platforms (Linux on AMD Opteron/Athlon64, 
Solaris/Sparc) but I can't recall seeing a build on Intel with the 64 
bit extensions.  By the way, did you happen to run `make check' just 
for kicks?

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
