similar to: R 1.6.0 Solaris crash with xmalloc: out of virtual memory

Full_Name: Ed Borasky Version: 1.8.1 OS: Windows XP Professional Submission from: (NULL) (208.252.96.195) R 1.8.1 seems to be running into a memory allocation problem in the "aggregate" function. I have a rather large dataset (14 columns by 223,000 rows -- almost 40 megabytes) and a script that performs some processing on it. The system is a 768 MB Pentium 4. Here's the console

Dear all, I have written a little R program to convert images. See below. Within the loop over j (the filenames) memory consumption grows constantly. rm( ... ) inside the loop did not help. Memory does not grow if I remove the writeBin statements between the two #-------- marks. But obviously this is not solution I want... Thanks for any advice. Manfred Baumstark P.S. As I'm new to R:

Happy new year to all; A few days ago, I posted similar problem. At that time, I found out that our R program had been 32-bit compiled, not 64-bit compiled. So the R program has been re-installed in 64-bit and run the same job, reading in 150 Affymetrix U133A v2 CEL files and perform dChip processing. However, the memory problem happened again. Since the amount of physical memory is 64GB, I think

Hi, all; I know there has been a lot of discussions on memory usage in R. However, I have some odd situation here. Basically, I have a rare opportunity to run R in a system with 64GB memory without any limit on memory usage for any person or process. However, I encountered the memory problem error message like this: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 594075 Kb I got this error message while

Hi, I am trying to minimize a rather complex function of 5 parameters with gafit and nlm. Besides some problems with both optimization algorithms (with respect to consistantly generating similar results), I tried to run this optimization about a hundred times for yet two other parameters. Unfortunately, as the log below shows, during that batch process R starts to eat up all my RAM,

Currently, I load the RData file then ls() and str(). But loading the file takes too long if the file is big. Most of the time, I only interested what the variables are in the the file and the attributes of the variables (like if it is a data.frame, matrix, what are the colnames/rownames, etc.) I'm wondering if there is any facility in R to help me avoid loading the whole file.

Hi, I'm trying to install RMySQL and I keep hitting errors. My computer is: uname -a Linux cricket 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:36:25 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have set the following environment settings: export PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient" export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" I run the following command: R CMD INSTALL

Hello, For the BUILTINSXP and SPECIALSXP types, the R Internals page documents "An integer giving the offset into the table of primitives/.Internals. " What macro gives me the value of this integer? I guess something like this would work had R_USEINTERNALS been defined v->u.primsxp.offset (where v is a SEXP of either of the above types). What is the portable version? Thank you

Hi all I had written a gdb macro to dump the string representation of an SEXPREC type when I realised everything I needed was in inspect.c already in the typename() function. However, the typename function doesnt handle the RAWSXP type, so if possible, could the following patch be applied (I've just put in inline as it is a trivial 1-liner)? Index: src/main/inspect.c

Hi, Again, sorry for the length of this post. Once I get my new office I will get a website set up on my work machine and will simply post a link to the log since I doubt many people are truly interested in these logs. To further analyze what is happening, I added my own routine in main.c called DEBUG_SET_NAMED and then redefined the SET_NAMED macro to use it and then rebuilt R. I

I was debugging a problem reported to me regarding PL/R, and found that I can duplicate it using only R sources. It might be characterized as possibly a misuse of the findFun() function, but I leave that for the R devel experts to decide. The below results are all with R-2.5.1 (I can't seem to download r-patched at the moment, but didn't see anything in the 2.5.1-patched release

Hi, In Rcpp, we now have a "Function" class to encapsulate functions (they cover all three kinds, but this may change). To call the function, what we do is generate a call with the function as the first node and then evaluate the call. SEXP stats = PROTECT( R_FindNamespace( mkString( "stats") ) ); SEXP rnorm = PROTECT( findVarInFrame( stats, install( "rnorm") ) )

Using the IRanges package from Bioconductor and somewhat recent R-2.9.1. ov = IRanges(1:3, 4:6) length(ov) # 3 seq(along = ov) # 1 2 3 as wanted seq_along(ov) # 1! I had expected that the last line would yield 1:3. My guess is that somehow seq_along don't utilize that ov is an S4 class with a length method. The last line of the *Details* section of ?seq has a typeo. Currently it is

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to debug an R-module, written in C, and I'm using gdb for this. How can I print "standard" R objects from within C code? BTW, I'm familiar with the advice to use R_PV given in Writing R Extensions, but it's not working for me. E.g., I get (gdb) p R_PV(x) $1 = void and yet (gdb) p *x $2 = {sxpinfo = {type = 16, obj = 0, named = 0, gp = 0,

Hi, I'm using R_MakeExternalPtr() to store handles to (COM) objects in a SEXP. The code basically is sexp = R_MakeExternalPtr(handle,R_NilValue,R_NilValue); R_RegisterCFinalizerEx(...); After creating the sexp, LENGTH(sexp) returns some quite large integer value. It seems like an "unitialized" value. Can I safely assume, that an SEXP of type EXTPTRSXP can only contain a single

Hi All, Well I finally have found the time to get svn working and I have successfully built my own tuned atlas (multi-threaded version) libs and have both the r-devel and r-patched trees building daily on my box. The problem is I still do not have a good idea of the layout and design of R, and typically I "learn by doing" by trying to fix a bug that hits me. Unfortunately ;-)

I found a bug in one of the fourteen speed patches I posted, namely in patch-vec-subset. I've fixed this (I now see one does need to duplicate index vectors sometimes, though one can avoid it most of the time). I also split this patch in two, since it really has two different and independent parts. The patch-vec-subset patch now has only some straightforward (locally-checkable) speedups for

Dear list, I am writing C code to interface with R, and I would like to know the level of mutability for the type of a SEXP. I see that there is a macro/function TYPEOF(), and that it can be used as an l-value, as well as a macro/function SET_TYPEOF(). My question is "should the type be considered immutable, or it can it change after the SEXP has been created and used for a while ?".
