Hi,
Why does Matlab run out of memory on the multiplication of these two sparse matrices?
The first one is of size 17249876309 x 29 but only has 7 non-zeros elements that are all on different rows and on different (albeit adjacent) columns.
The second one is of size 29 x 82 and has 432 non-zeros elements.
I can certainly exploit the nature of the sparsity in these two matrices, do the multiplication and reconstruct the big matrix.
Why does Matlab fail at doing this?
Thanks
