Folks: I apologize for the cross-posting between r-help and r-sig-hpc, but I figured this question was relevant to both lists. I'm writing a function to be applied to an input dataset that will be broken up into chunks for memory management reasons and for parallel execution. I am trying to determine, for a given function, what the *maximum* memory usage during its execution is (which may not be the beginning or the end of the function, but somewhere in the middle), so I can "plan" for the chunk size (e.g. have a table of chunk size vs. max memory usage).
Is there a trick for determining this? --j -- Jonathan A.
