Hello,
I have several very large data sets (1-7 million observations, sometimes
hundreds of variables) that I'm trying to work with in R, and memory seems to
be a big issue. I'm currently using a 2 GB Windows setup, but might have the
option to run R on a server remotely. Windows R seems basically limited to 2
GB memory if I'm right; is there the possibility to go much beyond that with
server-based R? In other words, am I limited by R or by my hardware, and how
much might R be able to handle if I get the hardware necessary?
Hi,
R under Windows can handle up to 2GB, and under certain conditions up to
3GB. Note that no 64-bit version for Windows is available yet.
Anyway, under 64-bit Linux their are almost no limits other than
hardware restrictions.
Best wishes,
Uwe
Also, any possibility of using web-based R for this kind of thing?
Cheers,
Alan Cohen
