You may be dealing with a system that is not facile at memory allocation. Windows?

It is a little stupid, but the length of a vector is limited to 2^31-1 entries on any platform. A matrix is stored as a vector, so the product of all dimensions is also limited to 2^31-1.

Hi,

I have been using the QCA package, in particular the "eqmcc" function
and I am having some issues when trying to use this to minimise a
particular boolean function.

The boolean function in question has 16 variables, and I am providing
the full truth table for the function (65536 with 256 true entries),
in the following way :

library(QCA)

func_tt = read.table("func.tt",header=TRUE)
eqmcc(func_tt, outcome="O", expl.0=TRUE)

However, after calculating for a little while, the system throws up a
memory error :

Error in vector("double", length) :
 cannot allocate vector of length 2130706560


However, looking at the memory usage, I seem to have far more than 2GB free.

Is there some kind of built-in limit on the size of the heap in R? If
so, is there some way I can extend this?

Does anyone have any insight into this? Perhaps I am doing something stupid?

Thanks

Matthew
