Hi<div><br></div><div>How can I know the size of the largest possible 2-D array in numpy, given a specific &#39;dtype&#39; and my system memory?</div><div><br></div><div>How can one play around with this? Would it help to note that the array might be say <i>m</i> megabytes on disk, say, <i>n</i> % sparse?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Also, is there some good literature about the largest possible 2-D arrays on different computing platforms? Google isn&#39;t helping much.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div>
