Thank you Dr. Spencer Graves for your answer.
What kind of matrices? They come form an image of about 3000x5000, and
I need to generate arround 1024 matrices of the same size, they are not
sparse
matrices.
What function can I use to, once generated one matrix, I could save into
disk
and then use the same space for the following, and so on.
Thank you very much for your help

SparseM packages that might help for sparse matrices. If they are N x k
where N is large and k is not, can you compute something like the QR
decomposition and get away with keeping only the R part for most of your
matrices?
One could potentially define a class of matrices that are only kept
in memory only when needed; I think S-Plus may do that. It would take
a lot of work to make that work generally, but you might be able to
accomplish what you need with a much smaller effort.

Hi R users and developers:
I want to know how can I save memory in R
for example:
- saving on disk a matrix.
- using again the matrix (changing their values)
- saving again the matrix on disk in a different file.
The idea is that I have a process that generate several
matrices, but if I keep them all in memory it will overflow.
How can I save them in different files, so I use the same
amount of memory for each processed matrix?
Thank you for your help.
