Hello Everyone,
We have recently purchased a server which has 64GB of memory running
a 64bit OS and I have compiled R from source with the following config
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R-2.9.1 --enable-Rshlib
--enable-BLAS-shlib --enable-shared --with-readline --with-iconv
--with-x --with-tcktk --with-aqua --with-libpng --with-jpeglib
and I would like to verify that I can use 55GB-60GB of the 64GB of
memory within R. Does anyone know how this is possible? Will R be able
to access that amount of memory from a single process? I am not an R
user myself but I just wanted to test this before I turned the server
over to the researchers..
Thanks!
