[BioC] R: Recurrent error with Flashclust

[Manca Marco (PATH)]

Dear Peter,

you have been SUPER! Thank you for your quick reaction. I will try the new code straight away.

I am forwarding also to Bioconductor for general interest.

All  the best, Marco

Oggetto: Re: Recurrent error with Flashclust

Hi Marco,

I found the error and I am now able to run a clustering of 50000
objects (takes about 10 minutes on my machine). I hope your computer
has enough memory to handle such large problems (my 32GB were pretty
much exhausted and needed some swapping at the end of the function). I
will submit the fixed package to CRAN soon but in the meantime you can
install it from the attached source bundle.

It is my understanding that because of inherent R limitations, you
won't be able to cluster more than 2^16 = 65536 objects, since R
doesn't seem to allow objects of length more than 2^31.

Let me know if anything doesn't work, and, as before, feel free to
forward this to the Bioconductor mailing list.

Best,

Peter
