Hi all,

I am doing some intensive computation right now. My system is Pentium4 3.20G + 1.0G RAM + WindowsXP + R1.9.1. It seems my computer is very powerful. However, when I do some simple matrix algebra operations based on a matrix (DD) with dimension 5000000 by 2, I found that the consumption of RAM is huge. For example, the command a <- 1 - DD[,2] eats my 100M RAM. Does anyone know how to release memory in the middle of program (running time)? BTW, the command rm() does not free memory unless you quit R as I as know. Thanks in advance.

Rui
