1. How much RAM do you have (looks like 2GB ) . If you have more than 2GB then you can allocate more memory with memory.size()
2. If you have 2GB or less then you have a couple options a) make sure your session is clean of unnecessary objects. b) Dont read in all the data if you dont need to ( see colClasses to control this ) c) use the bigmemory package or ff package d) buy more RAM On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 6:57 AM, Dan Abner <dan.abne...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Any ideas on troubleshooting this memory issue: > > > d1<-read.csv("arrears.csv") > Error: cannot allocate vector of size 77.3 Mb > In addition: Warning messages: > 1: In class(data) <- "data.frame" : > Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) > 2: In class(data) <- "data.frame" : > Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) > 3: In class(data) <- "data.frame" : > Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) > 4: In class(data) <- "data.frame" : > Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) > > > Thanks! > > Dan > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
