To make use of the extended memory should I install the 64 bit version of Matlab either on Windows 7 64 bit or windows XP 64 bit.
I have to manipulate some very large number arrays – having about 50 million rows and 4 columns. Each number in the array is of the order of one billion. Is there any limitation in matlab as to the maximum array sizes or is it purely a matter of the amount of RAM I have allocated on my 64 bit OS.
Is it correct to say that if I use a 32 bit version of Matlab like Matlab 2008, the maximum memory I can allocate to my Arrays is 4GB?
Thanks in advance for your help
