Hi, I am working with a file (900MB in size) that has around 10 million records (in particular FASTQ records). I am able to read in the file as an object of BStringSet. When I start to manipulate the data, after almost 4 hours, I get the error message as Error: cannot allocate vector of size X.0 Mb (where X was once 160MB and then 180MB).
The R version used is 2.11.1. I am not sure how to check if this is 64-bit or not so that I can use >4GB of RAM. I typed 'version' at the R prompt and see this: platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu arch x86_64 os linux-gnu system x86_64, linux-gnu. Does this mean it is already a 64-bit version of R I use? Please advice. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Error-cannot-allocate-vector-of-size-X-0-Mb-tp2539031p2539031.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
