I am running R version ??? under Redhat 5.2. It seems as though the --nsize object has no effct on the size of the allocated Ncells as determined using gc(). Yes, I have that much data.... That is if I envoke R with R --vsize 100 --nsize 5000000 then type gc() I get free total Ncells 92202 200000 Vcells 12928414 13107200 Thanks Tony Long Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Steinhaus

Among other computers, I am using rw0642 on an IBM 300GL with 32MB RAM and Windows98. 1. If after opening rw0642 the first command is to help such as "? par", when the help window is closed by clicking X in the upper right corner of the help window the following message is shown This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists contact the

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 requires a restart. Is there any way to increase the memory limits on R while keeping our jobs from

Dear R-ers, somehow it is not possible to increase nsize to more than 20000k. When I specify e.g. > R --vsize=10M --nsize=21000K the result is: free total (Mb) Ncells 99658 350000 6.7 Vcells 1219173 1310720 10.0 Maybe I have overlooked s.th....

Dear all, I don't get it: First of all, the help doesn't say what are the memory limits of R. Say, what's the max heap size for instance ???? Secondly, I invoke R with the following commands each time: rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 1000K rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 2000K rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 3000K rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 4000K I try to open a matrix 8000x8000 by issuing

I am trying to translate code from S-PLUS to R and R really struggles! After starting R with the foll. R --vsize 50M --nsize 6M --no-restore on a 400 MHz Pentium with 192 MB of memory running Linux (RH 6.2), I run a function that essentially picks up an external dataset with 2121 rows and 30 columns and builds a lm() object and also runs step() ... the step() takes forever to run...(takes very

Hi, Is the following command used to increase the memory or any other command when a background R job is run? R --min-vsize=vl --max-vsize=vu --min-nsize=nl --max-nsize=nu --max-ppsize=N source: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/base/html/Memory.html Thx Carol [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

G'day R friends, I didn't get any replies on the main list so I thought I'd try with the experts. I was wondering if anyone's ported R to os390. If so, are the vsize and nsize limits the same as other platforms? I could really annoy those SAS guys then. thanks, John Strumila john.strumila@team.telstra.com

Hi everyone, I have a problem that some people may have already encountered but i did not find the solution yet. As I use R to simulate several arrays of data, my workspace is now 35Mb big and I cannot launch R with it. An "xdr real data read error occured" and R tells me to delete .RData or increase memory. I WON'T delete this file and changing the max-nsize to 40600k did not

Let me begin stating that I read all help files and faq's on the subject matter (there aren't more than about a dozen) but either did not find solutions or found them not to work. Here is the issue. I am trying to run a spatial regression on a medium-sized dataset. Part of the functions in the spdep package I use require me to allocate a vector of 1.1 Gb (mine is not a spatial SIG

For anybody who uses ESS with R, how do you invoke the vsize and nsize options when you call R. I can't find any appropriate variables from an apropos.

hi- If I source the following for(k in seq(1:20)){ x<-runif(20000,min=-500,max=2000) y<-runif(20000,min=-500,max=2500) z<-runif(20000,min=-10,max=10) cat(k,"file",memory.size()) cc<-rainbow(11) plot(x,y,asp=1i,xlim=c(-500,2000),ylim=c(-500,2500),main=k,cex=1.0) for(i in seq(-10,10,2)){ points(x[z > i],y[z > i],col=cc[(12+i)/2],cex=1.0) } rm(x,y,z)

Dear R-users, I am trying to run some simulations in batch mode. In an older version of the program, I used rterm --vsize=100M --nsize=5000K --restore --save <input file> output file, however, in the new version R 2.2.0 , the parameters vsize and nsize are ignored. I can use the command memory.limit to increase memory, but I am not sure if this corresponds to vsize and nsize.

Dear Group I'm still trying to bring many data into R (see older postings). After solving some troubles with the database I do most of the work in MySQL. But still I could be nice to work on some data using R. Therefore I can use a dedicated Server with Gentoo Linux as OS hosting only R. This Server is a nice machine with two CPU and 4GB RAM which should do the job: Dual Intel XEON 3.06 GHz

Dear R-core Team, As Thomas Lumley pointed out in one of his e-mails one can use commandArgs() to get a copy of the command line arguments supplied when R session was invoked and then use grep to extract parameters of interest. His solution works very well if the custom options are passed by names, e.g. --my-option=value, but what if one wants to pass parameters by their positions. Then it's

Dear sir, I am using R in windows. I want to extend R Memory size. I use the following command, but unfortunately it doesn't work. -- vsize=15M --nsize=1000K Your help is appreciated.

Hello- Since my data bank in SPSS has > 40 variables, I think that R crashes because of the memory limit. In Maindonald?s UsingR text, on pg 3, there?s a footnote that reads: "If you want larger memory space than the default you may want a target akin to <path to binary>\rw091\bin\rgui.exe --visize 30M --nsize 1000K [The default is --vsize 6M --nsize 250K

Dear R-helpers, I am running R version 2.9.1 on a Mac Quad with 32Gb of RAM running Mac OS X version 10.5.6.
