Hi I'm running 32-bit R on Windows XP 64bit and the machine has 16Gb of RAM. The help for memory.limit states:
If 32-bit R is run on some 64-bit versions of Windows the maximum value of obtainable memory is just under 4GB. So, using the help which states the size parameter can go up to 4095: memory.limit(size=4095) When I run mclust I get: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.3 Gb So, now I set the max-mem-size flag: --max-mem-size=3500M Repeat and I still get the same error: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.3 Gb So, can anyone help? 32 bit R is reported to be able to use up to 4Gb of RAM on 64 bit windows, yet mine croaks at 1.3Gb. > sessionInfo() R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] mclust_3.3.1 Thanks Mick ______________________________________________ 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.
