Hello,
I'm very new to R and don't know much about it yet. I would like
to develop R-programs that work with data of sizes of 10^10 - 10^11
data points. We have very-high-memory machines with ~256 GB, but it
would significantly help if I could store the data points in single
precision in RAM instead of double precision. Is that possible?
In the documentation I found a sentence saying its not supported,
at least not out of the box. But I am quite desperate and would also
consider working with an alpha version or with extension packages?
Ideally I would like type promotion to work, i.e. that when using
the data in math operations they should be promoted to double.
Any help is greatly appreciated! All the best,
Mario
