I ran a number of analyses in R and saved the workspace, which resulted in a 2GB .RData file. When I try to read the file back into R later, it won't read into R and provides the error: "Error: cannot allocate vector of size 37 Kb"
This error comes after 1 minute of trying to read things in - I presume a single vector sends it over the memory limit. But, memory.limit() shows that I have access to a full 16gb of ram on my machine (12 GB are free when I try to load the RData file). gc() shows the following after I receive this error: used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb) Ncells 623130 33.3 4134347 220.8 5715387 305.3 Vcells 1535682 11.8 883084810 6737.5 2100594002 16026.3 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
