I've a linux system with 2Gb of memory which is not enough for reading a 446Mb netcdf file using ncdf: library(ncdf) ncold <- open.ncdf("gridone.grd") Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1822753 Kb
When I look at the free memory in my system I can see that none of the Swap space is being used by R. I am a newbie in linux and R, I've read the Memory help pages but still have some questions: can I use the swap space in R to solve my problem of lack of memory? if not, are there any ways to read the data apart from buying more RAM?
