similar to: R memory size increases

The R memory docs say that the --*-vsize option takes an integer argument and then 'G', 'M', 'K', or 'k'. When I start R using R --max-vsize=10G I receive the warning: WARNING: --max-vsize=10G=10'M': too large and ignored The system that I'm working on is a 64-bit Sun server with 40G of memory. What is the correct syntax for this command? Daniel

Dear all, I am using ubuntu linux 32 with 4 Gb.  I am running a very small script and I always got the same error message:  CAN NOT ALLOCATE A VECTOR OF SIZE 231.8 Mb. I have reading carefully the instruction in ?Memory.  Using the function gc() I got very low numbers of memory (please sea below).  I know that it has been posted several times at r-help

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]]

Dear R users, I have noticed that my R startup is extremely slow. It takes almost 3 minutes from "double-click" to R prompt. I have been running R-0.64.1 till recently and it took about 30 sec. I still have access to R-0.64.1. When I started it up, it took about 25 sec. Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in R or a problem with my machine? Note: This is after bootup with R being 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

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

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

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

I am having a problem using ESS with R. In particular I have large data objects which exceed the 6Mb default heap memory. Outside of ESS I can run R by specifying large values of --vsize and --nsize but I can't figure out how to do this in ESS. Any help would be much appreciated. -- **************************************************** ** Angelo J. Canty **

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.

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
