Re: [R] Server hanging despite efforts to correct memory limits

You should be able to set limits on memory use for a process in the operating system, eg with limits or ulimits under Unix-alike shells. -thomas On Tue, 19 Jan 2010, Nathan Stephens wrote: My group is working with datasets between 100 Mb and 1 GB in size, using multiple log ins. From

Re: [R] Server hanging despite efforts to correct memory limits

I am running into a separate, but related issue. On Linux, one may impose memory limits via the --max-vsize, --max-nsize, and --max-ppsize arguments upon starting R. I do not know if similar arguments are available on Windows. HTH -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Server-hang

[R] Server hanging despite efforts to correct memory limits

My group is working with datasets between 100 Mb and 1 GB in size, using multiple log ins. From the documentation, it appears that vsize is limited to 2^30-1, which tends to prove too restrictive for our use. When we drop that restriction (set vsize = NA) we end up hanging the server, which requi
