Question

When I try to execute the following command in MATLAB:

zero_vector = zeros( 128*128*16 );

I get the following message:

Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.

I don’t have the memory command available on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.5 platform. In any case, I expect that I should be able to create a 2 MB vector of zeros in MATLAB 7.14.0.739 (R2012a). Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong?

Answer 1

This will generate a big square matrix.

To generate a vector, do that:

zero_vector = zeros( 128*128*16 , 1 );
