Hi,
I'm using Numerical Python 24 beta 2 with python 2.4.1 on Fedora Core 2
and get a memory error when I try to allocate a large array of float,
though the system isn't swapping and there's memory available when I do a
free.
>from Numeric import *
>w=zeros((3000,3,3000,3),Float)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
MemoryError: can't allocate memory for array
I've verified using malloc that I can allocate upto 1GB of memory. I get
the same error using numarray-1.3.2 instead of numeric.
Is there any way of finding out why this error occurs ?
Thanks,
Vasisht
