[R-sig-Geo] Raster memory problem

2012-12-12 Thread Marie Auger-Methe
Dear list, I am using large raster bricks for my analyses and I am running out of memory. I get the following message: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 231.0 Mb and this whether I do all my brick manipulations by loading the brick in R's memory or not (i.e., whether I use the option

Take a look at setOptions to force disk to disk. raster will guess if it can do the operation in memory but occasionally underestimates the memory available or required. Sent from my iPhone On 12/12/2012, at 15:20, Raffaele Morelli raffaele.more...@gmail.com wrote: 2012/12/12 Marie

Marie, It seems you are manipulating large amounts of data in RAM with 32-bit R --- use 64 bit if you can. As Jacob indicated, you can use options like rasterOptions(maxmemory=1e+07, chunksize=1e+06). However, you might also have been able to avoid memory problems by using the more direct b1 -
