Hello Everyone!
Thanks for all your replies! This was very helpful! I found that
there seems to be a limitation to only 32GB of memory which I think will
be fine. I was able to consume the 32GB of memory with the following:
Start R with the following command: R --max-vsize 55000M
then within R run
x=rep(0.1,2.141e9)
and watch the process with top and R will consume about 32GB of
memory... Hopefully this will be enough for the researchers ;)
Thanks!

Hello Everyone,
We have recently purchased a server which has 64GB of memory
running a 64bit OS and I have compiled R from source with the
following config
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R-2.9.1 --enable-Rshlib
--enable-BLAS-shlib --enable-shared --with-readline --with-iconv
--with-x --with-tcktk --with-aqua --with-libpng --with-jpeglib
and I would like to verify that I can use 55GB-60GB of the 64GB of
memory within R. Does anyone know how this is possible? Will R be able
to access that amount of memory from a single process? I am not an R
user myself but I just wanted to test this before I turned the server
over to the researchers..
Thanks!
