Dear Sir,
Thanks for the guidance. Will check. And yes, at the end of each
simulation, a large result is getting stored.
Regards

It is hard to tell from the information that you have provided. Do you
have a list of the sizes of all the objects that you have in memory? Are
you releasing large objects at the end of each simulation run? Are you
using 'gc' to garbage collect any memory after deallocating objects?
Collect some additional information with a simple function like below:
f_mem_stats <- function(memo='') cat(memo, proc.time(), memory.size(),
'\n')
2 2.85 11.59 85444.93 NA NA 39.08
This will print out what you pass in as a parameter, e.g., the iteration
number, and then outputs the amount of CPU and memory used so far. I use
this all the time to keep track of resource consumption in long running
scripts.

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.

Dear R Forum,
I have about 2000+ FX forward transactions and I am trying to run 1000
simulations. If I use less no of simulations, I am able to get the desired
results. However, when I try to use more than 1000 simulations, I get
following error.
sorted2 <- ddply(sorted, .(currency_from_exch, id), mutate,
change_in_mtm_bc = mtm_bc - mtm_bc[1])
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 15.6 Mb
In addition: Warning messages:

When I checked -
[1] 3583
The code is bit lengthy and unfortunately can't be shared.
Kindly guide how this memory probelm can be tackled? I am using R x64 3.2.0
