R-question
Let's assume that you are running on a system with 2GB of memory. All of R's data is held in memory and I would suggest that no single object have more that 25% of memory. That would suggest that 500MB for a single object would be a reasonable limit. If you are working with something like 2M rows of numeric data (each element takes 8 bytes), then you should be able to handle about 32 columns in the matrix without much trouble. If you have a 64-bit version of R, then the limit is how much you want to spend on memory. On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 7:12 AM, thabet chelligue
