That's true when running a 32-bit version of R under 64-bit Windows. But on the 64-bit version of REvolution R Enterprise for Windows, you can create objects much larger than 4Gb, for example: > memory.limit(2e+9) > v<-double(1e+9) # 8GB vector > sum(v) [1] 0 The same is true of 64-bit versions of R on other platforms, too. # David Smith -- David M Smith <da...@revolution-computing.com> Director of Community, REvolution Computing www.revolution-computing.com Tel: +1 (206) 577-4778 x3203 (San Francisco, USA) Check out our upcoming events schedule at www.revolution-computing.com/events ______________________________________________ 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.
