thx, jim. makes perfect sense now. I guess a logical in R has a few million possible values ;-). (Joke. I realize that 4 bytes is to keep the code convenient and faster.) regards, /iaw Ivo Welch (ivo.we...@gmail.com) On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 4:26 PM, jim holtman wrote: > I can give you

I can give you the answer to #1. If you had put a "print(str(m))" you would have seen that initially the matrix was setup as logical which requires 4 bytes per element. On the first assignment of a numeric, the mode of 'm' is changed to numeric which requires 8 bytes per element; that is the reas

32 bit windows has a memory limit of 2GB. Upgrading to a computer thats less than 10 years old is the best path. But short of that, if you're just generating random data, why not do it in two or more pieces and combine them later? mat.1 <- matrix(rnorm(5*2000),nrow=5) mat.2 <- matrix(rno

Oops, I missed that you only have 4GB of memory... but since R is apparently capable of using almost 10GB, either you actually have more RAM, or the system is swapping some data to disk. Increasing memory use in R might still help, but also may lead to a situation where the system waits forever fo

You have (almost) exhausted the 10GB you limited R to (that's what the memory.size() tells you). Increase memory.limit (if you have more RAM, use memory.limit(15000) for 15GB etc), or remove large data objects from you session. Use rm(object), the issue garbage collection gc().
