For vectors and matrices (which are vectors with dim attributes), I believe the memory need to be contiguous, but not for lists. You still have not indicated which particular "UNIX" you are using. On the 64-bit Linux we have here with 16GB RAM, the R (compiled as 64-bit application) process can use nearly all the physical RAM available, without any setting. Andy
From: Jonathan Greenberg Does UNIX R have a similar command, or does it just take as much memory as it needs? On a related note, does the memory have to be contiguous on either type of system? I am not hitting my max memory even with the 2gb max mem set (I'm not even hitting 1.5gb) -- it is giving me errors such as: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 387873 Kb (I should point out that this value changes when I simply rerun the previous line). There isn't really an easy way of getting around this, since I'm using the prune.tree function -- seeing as how its 1 line of code, I don't see how to optimize this. --j On 2/20/04 5:40 AM, "James MacDonald" <jmacdon at med.umich.edu> wrote:
