Hello all,
I'm working with a large data-set, and upgraded my RAM to 4GB to help
with the mem use.
I've got a 32bit kernel with 64GB memory support compiled in.
gnome-system-monitor and free both show the full 4GB as being available.
In R I was doing some processing and I got the following message (when
collecting 100 307200*8 dataframes into a single data-frame (for plotting):
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 2.3 Mb
So I checked the R memory usage:
$ ps -C R -o size
SZ
3102548
I tried removing some objects and running gc() R then shows much less
memory being used:
$ ps -C R -o size
SZ
2732124
Which should give me an extra 300MB in R.
I still get the same error about R being unable to allocate another 2.3MB.
I deleted well over 2.3MB of objects...
Any suggestions as to get around this?
Is the only way to use all 4GB in R to use a 64bit kernel?
Thanks all,
B. Bogart
