[Numpy-discussion] memory usage of numpy arrays

Hi. I am using numpy arrays and when constructing an array I get a "cannot allocate memory for thread-local data: ABORT" The array i'm constructing is zeros((numVars, 2, numVars, 2), dtype=float) Where numVars is at about 2000. I was expecting the memory usage to be 2000*2000*2*2*8Bytes=128.000.000Bytes=128MBytes So why is that happening? What am I missing? Thanks for any help. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/memory-usage-of-numpy-arrays-tp27788048p27788048.html Sent from the Numpy-discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
