similar to: memory limit on linux

Using R-1.8.0 (d/l and compiled on 2003-10-01) on WinXP, I seem to be unable to determine the maximum memory allocated to R. The help still says to use memory.limit(size=NA), but this returns the value NA. In addition, I have set --max-mem-size=2G but I run out of memory somewhere around 500Mb (which is why I am trying to find out how much memory is allocated). I don't have any other programs

Could anyone advise me how to allocate 1.5Gbyte memory for R on a Dell laptop running XP professional with 2G memory? I have tried "C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin\Rgui.exe" --max-vsize=1400M but I only get only 500MB for R actually. I also tried memory.limit(2^30) in R and got error of: Error in memory.size(size) : cannot decrease memory limit Yi-Xiong

Hi, While installing precompiled packages I often get warnings like the one in the subject. I usually ignore them, but I still do not understand why windows packages are build with unreleased versions of R. Is there some way to get packages build under R-2.2.0? What are potential problems that can result from that version mismatch? My system: winXP R version: 2.2.0 Jarek Tuszynski

Hello, thank you very much for your help in last email. it is very helpful. right now, i have more questions about my project, 1. solve can i remove the NA from a vectors: for exmample, if my vector is: v <- (NA, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) how can I remove the NA from vector v 2. how I can get input from the user? 3. can I read more than one data files in one program? and how i can write something

Hi, is it possible to increase the memory limit to infinite so that I don't need to worry about whether it is enough or not? In S-plus, you can do this by setting: options( memory = as.integer( Inf ) ) is it possible to do this in R?

Hi, when I try to import a microarray CEL batch, I get this error message: > myAB <- ReadAffy () Error in .Call("read_abatch", filenames, rm.mask, rm.outliers, rm.extra, : cannot allocate vector of length 1287151200 which, assuming the value is in bites, is below my RAM values (3 Gb recognized by Windows). The isse is, when I try to do memory.limit (size = 3000 ) the

I am running R 2.10.1 on Windows Server 03 in an effort to increase my memory limit. The memory limit on my machine is 4 gb and 8 gb on our server. However, when I run R within the server and try to increase my memory R still says I am limited to 4 gb. Any thoughts?

Hi, all, I'm doing a discrete choice model in R and kept getting this error: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 198.6 Mb. Does this mean the memory limit in R has been reached? > memory.size() [1] 1326.89 > memory.size(TRUE) [1] 1336 > memory.limit() [1] 1535 My laptop has a 4G memory with Windows Vista (32 bit). I increased the memory limit to 2500 M. But still getting the same

I have installed R 2.2.1 in Solaris 10 and am trying to increase the memory capacity (the system has 16G RAM) to 3 or 4G, but I keep getting: > memory.limit(size=3000) Error: couldn't find function "memory.limit" Am I missing anything? I do that all the time under Windows. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Priscila [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I tried to calculate the formula for the birthday problem (the probability that at least two people out of a group of n people share the same birthday) But the factorial-function allows me only to calculate factorials up to 170. So is there a way to push that limit? to solve this formula: (factorial(365) / factorial((365-23))) / (365^23) (n=23)

Hi I have been creating very, very long jpeg images for the last two weeks using jpeg(). All of a sudden, and I mean that, it's stopped working - I've not changed a thing! The error message I get is: > jpeg("out.jpg",width=50000,height=480, quality=100) Error in devga(paste("jpeg:", quality, ":", filename, sep = ""), width, : unable

Dear list subscriber (R-Core), there is a minor typo in the Windows specific NEWS for R 2.9.0: http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/CHANGES.R-2.9.0 There is no function 'memory.limits() but memory.limit() (see below). Secondly, I am kind of irritated by the function's behaviour. It returns an Error, but as it seems the memory limit is set according to the numeric value for

I am trying to construct a graph of 6 box plots of blood pressures. I want them to be on a single set of axis and I want the SBP to be ontop of the DBP. I have an array bp with the data in it and I tried a[1,]<-c(145,60,147,62,140,57) a[2,]<-c(160,75,160,74,160,70) a[3,]<-c(140,55,140,65,142,55) boxplot(data.frame(a), main = "Blood Pressures", at=c(1,1,2,2,3,3),

Hi all, I'm running an analysis with the random forest tool. It's being applied to a data matrix of ~60,000 rows and between about 40 and 200 columns. I get the same error with all of the data files (Cannot allocate vector of size 428.5MB). I found dozens of threads regarding this problem, but they never seem to be concluded. Usually the OP is directed to the memory allocation help file

Dear All, Can R perform multivariate integration with infinite limits of integration? Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi! I had some memory problem with R - hope somebody could tell me a solution. I work with very large datasets, but R cannot allocate enough memoty to handle these datasets. I want work a matrix with row= 100 000 000 and column=10 A know this is 1 milliard cases, but i thought R could handle it (other commercial software like spss could do), but R wrote out everytime: not enough memory.. any

During a R session (Version 1.4.1 under Windows) I ended up getting the following error message: Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?) independently of the command like rm(something), q(), ls(), gc(), memory.size(), memory.limit(300000000), ... What could I do now to save my data? How could I prevent this situation? Thanks for any hint, Nikolaus Hansen
