[Bioc-devel] pointer and big matrix in R

[Vincent Carey]

for some approaches to working with large matrices in R, please look at

http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing.html

scroll down to "Large memory and out-of-memory data"

i suspect this view text should be enlarged to include rhdf5 and ncdf
as additional
relevant resources
