To whom it may concern, I seem to be encountering RAM problems using R. I am currently running R 2.2.0 in Windows XP version 2002. My computer has 4 GB of RAM. The problem I am encountering is that R does not seem to allow me to obtain more than 1.5GB of RAM as I construct various matrices.
I have already pre-allocated 3.5 GB of RAM as in the command line I entered under "Target": "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.2.0\bin\Rgui.exe" --max-mem-size=3500Mb. However, R still seems to be blocked at 1.5GB. Once I have more than about 1.5 GB of RAM allocated to the various objects in memory, I get an error that R cannot allocate the matrix. Is there an internal RAM limit for R? Are there any work-arounds? Thank you very much, JP ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jean-Pierre H.
