Is there a 64 bit R - and where can I get hold of it for Windows please?

Your sizes function is useful thanks - but is there some R parameter to
allow maximum usage of memory?

For Windows XP?, Not that I know of. There are proprietary versions  
for Vista and I believe Professor Ripley is working on an experimental  
version for the 64 bit versions of Windows.

Read the Windows FAQ and seearch on memory.

We're planning to release 64 bit builds with R 2.11.0.  They are 
currently being built as part of the test process, though the builds are 
still a little irregular.  You can download from CRAN 
mirror/bin/windows64/contrib for now, and soon from CRAN 
mirror/bin/windows64/base.


The 64 bit versions of R will require a 64 bit version of Windows to run 
on.  I think there may be 64 bit versions of XP, but they are uncommon 
and I don't know if they support our builds; we're testing in 64 bit 
Vista and Windows 7.


Revolution Computing also sells a build produced with a different 
compiler.  It has the advantage that the compiler is probably in better 
shape than the one we are using and they'll provide support with it; the 
disadvantage is that they'll charge for it, and they are probably not as 
up to date as us with respect to released version number.

Actually, the 64-bit version that you can currently download is a daily 
build on Windows Server 2008 (where all the package checks happen as well).

Rare indeed: they are really personal versions of Server 2003 (using 
that codebase, not XP's).


But as it happens one of my IT staff uses x64 XP on his personal 
machine (he prefers XP to later versions of Windows) and has tested 
the R pre-2.11.0 installer there.

And Server 2008 (win-builder).

Pros and cons.  Yes, their compiler is more mature and better tested, 
but ours is a variant of gcc and a great deal of code (especially C++ 
in packages) is written for and tested on g++ and is more likely to 
give the intended answers on the R-core build.


and they'll provide support with it; the disadvantage is that 
they'll charge for it, and they are probably not as up to date as us 
with respect to released version number.

[R] R Cmdr memory

2010-03-27 Thread ManInMoon

Hi,

I keep getting this error in console. but I have 30G of RAM:

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 154.3 Mb

Is there some way to tell it I have more memory available?

I am on Windows XP 64 bit

But you are probably using 32 bit R.

You could try running this code. I copied if from a posting on r-help,  
but regret that I did not insert a comment to remind me who posted it.


getsizes - function() {z - sapply(ls(envir=globalenv()),
function(x) object.size(get(x)))
 (tmp - as.matrix(rev(sort(z))[1:10]))  }

I had the same sort of question so many times that I added it to  
my .Rprofile
