RE : [scilab-Users] amount of memory available

[Collewet Guylaine]

Hello,

Thank you for your answer

I am working under window XP and I would like to increase the stacksize in order to manage a huge set of elements (about 1.5 GO)

In fact I did not notice that the units of stacksize function is 8 bytes, which means that 100 MO of stack corresponds in fact to 800 MO

By the way, it seems that stacksize('max') does not work properly on my computer :
-->stacksize('max')
-->stacksize
 ans  =
    27130576.    33095.  
-->stacksize(1e8)
-->stacksize
 ans  =
    1.000D+08    33095. 

 
Best regards

Guylaine

  Hello,

It actually depends on several factors, such as the operating system and 
the processes which are running at the time where you launch the 
stacksize("max") function. The upper bound is 2GB, but your 700MB are 
well under this limit, so that it should work. If you are able to close 
some other applications, you may see some increasing of the stack.

But why do you want to increase the stack size, do you actually observe 
the "stack size exceeded!" message ?

Best regards,
