I've run into the following problem while running a simulation code (of a differential equation). Because of the nature of the problem, the matrices are dense. In particular one line of code that runs the backslash operator gives an OutOfMemory error on one computer but not on another computer.
The error is: ERROR: LoadError: OutOfMemoryError() in .* at arraymath.jl:118 in * at abstractarraymath.jl:54 in functionName at C:\Users\user\Google Drive\codefile.jl:158 in include at boot.jl:261 in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:304 while loading C:\Users\user\Google Drive\codefile.jl, in expression starting on line 155 (error points to backslash operator ) Info for the computer that works fine: - mac laptop - 1.6 GHz i5 processor - 4 GB memory - 250 GB - running Julia 0.4.1 Info for the computer that gives the error: - windows desktop - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @3.30GHz - 8 GB memory - 420 GB drive - running Julia 0.4.3 Both computers are not running any other programs, and are both fairly new with plenty of space available (the computers are specifically designated to run such code). I am sure that my next step should be to install Julia 0.4.1 on the windows computer to see if that helps, but it may take me some time to sort through the instructions for installing old versions of Julia. I wondered whether anyone would have some insight as to why/how this error could occur on a newer version of Julia and on a better machine?
