Dear All: Pleas help me to increase the memory in R.
I am trying to make euclidean distance matrix. The number of low in data is 500,000. Therefore, the dimension of euclidean distance matrix is 500,000*500,000. When I run the data in R. R could not make distance matrix because of memory allocation problem. In order increase memory, I read the FAQ and follow the instruction as below: You may also set the amount of available memory manually. Close R, then right-click on your R program icon (the icon on your desktop or in your programs directory). Select ``Properties'', and then select the ``Shortcut'' tab. Look for the ``Target'' field and after the closing quotes around the location of the R executible, add --max-mem-size=500M It does not work. I have tried other computers in also does not work. When I add the --max-mem-size=3Gb in Target field. There is error like as below: “The name "C:\Documents and Settings\Hong Su An\My Documents\R\R-2.4.1\bin\Rgui.exe"--max-mem-size=1024M specified in the Target box is not valid” I use R2.4.1. in window xp with sp2 and 4Gb RAM. Have a nice day. Hong Su An.
