MATLAB Out of Memory: Increasing Matlab's Virtual Memory

AI Thread Summary
Users express frustration with Matlab's limitations on array sizes, particularly in the student version, which leads to "out of memory" errors when attempting to create large arrays. A suggested workaround involves splitting large arrays into smaller vectors and using conditional statements to manage them. While this solution is practical, it is not ideal given the constraints of the student version. One user humorously transitions to the professional version of Matlab, implying that it offers greater capabilities and fewer restrictions. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by users with limited versions of software and the creative solutions they seek.

I'm furious with Matlab. when I reach a 1*10.000 array or similar figures it says to me: "out of memory". Does anybody know how I can do larger the virtual memory dedicated to this programe?. I have a 40 GB and 500Mb RAM computer, so it would be enough for eating anything!.

Are you using the student version?
 
-------->Yes.
 
There is a limiter on array sizes in the student version of Matlab.

You may be able to do a work-around by splitting it into two or more vectors and using if...else statements to determine which one to work with.

Not optimal, for sure, but you are paying 1/30th the price.
 
Thanks for helping. Your solution seems like given birth by an engineer, so practical... :smile:

Hrmm... I don't know if that was a jab or not... :rolleyes: :biggrin:
 
:smile: :approve: ;

It was not a malicious jab at all. It was an affectionate upper cut.

:wink: :zzz:

NO MORE! NO MORE!

Now I haVE the professional version:



I'VE GOT THE POWER!
