System Requirements
mxArray is still a 32-bit signed integer. This limits the number of elements in
any one array to INT_MAX-1, or 2147483646 (approximately 2*10^^9). With this
limit, you can create matrices up to 16 GB (for doubles). You can create as many
of these as your machine has memory to support.
Mac OS® X
32-Bit Operating Systems
• PowerPC G4 or G5 processor
• Mac OS X 10.4, 10.4.2 (Tiger™), or 10.3.8 or 10.3.9 (Panther™); 10.3.9
requires an Apple Java patch
• 16-bit graphics or higher adaptor and display (24-bit recommended)
•XIKX Server)
Linux
32-Bit Operating Systems
• Linux built using Kernel 2.4.x or 2.6.x and glibc (glibc6) 2.3.2 or later
• Intel® Pentium® III processor or later, and AMD processors
• 16-bit graphics or higher adaptor and display (24-bit recommended)
64-Bit Operating Systems
• Linux built using Kernel 2.4.x or 2.6.x and glibc (glibc6) 2.3.4 or later
• Intel® EM64T or AMD AMD64 processors
• 16-bit graphics or higher adaptor and display (24-bit recommended)
Matrix Size Limitations. Historically, MATLAB matrices have been limited in size
to those that would fit in a 32-bit address space. Some of those limitations have
been lifted, but some remain. Specifically, the data type used to index into an
mxArray is still a 32-bit signed integer. This limits the number of elements in
any one array to INT_MAX-1, or 2147483646 (approximately 2*10^^9). With this
limit, you can create matrices up to 16 GB (for doubles). You can create as many
of these as your machine has memory to support.
