MATLAB: Bigger than 2GB Data Storage

Question

Hello,

I`m a 2016B user. This version complains about my synthetic data storage and says that `For variables larger than 2GB use MAT-file version 7.3 or later.`. I cannot obtain higher version. Any idea on how to store big data?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Take from the reference and tested with Matlab R2016b:

save('myFile.mat', 'Variablename', '-v7.3')

will save your variable ( > 2GB ), provided you are running on an 64-bit system
