search for: maxvmem

I have read in a file (call it myData). The actual file is about 3000x30,000 columns and object.size() says myData takes: > 737910472/(1024^2) [1] 703.7263 Unfortunately, my program ends up using 40GB as indicated by maxvmem on Unix, which causes my department's cluster to stop working. Perhaps, I have some copying going on that I cannot find. I have created an example below that mimics my program. Could someone help me find my error? I am also confused about how to use Rprofmem to study this problem. Thanks for yo...
