[scilab-Users] Question about max. vector length and scilab limits

[michael.baudin at scilab.org]

 Hi,

 In "Programming in Scilab", you may find a part of the answers that you 
 are searching for:

 http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/docprogscilab/downloads/

 The section 2, "Variables and memory management", describes the current 
 stack of Scilab v5. The size of the maximum dense matrix of doubles 
 derives from this. The maximum stack size in Scilab v5 is 2.1 GB. This 
 corresponds to a 16 384-by-16 384 dense matrix of doubles.

 A matrix of 17 000 doubles easily fits into Scilab, provided that we 
 set the size of the stack to a consistent value. Did you run 
 stacksize("max")?

 The maximum number of characters in a variable (or function) is 24. But 
 your questions go far beyond that particular point.

 Best regards,

 Michaël

 PS
 The maximum number of opened files, maximum number of variables, 
 maximum number of characters in a line of a Scilab macro, maximum number 
 of functions in a gateway, etc... is yet to be determined.
