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.

For Linux: CDF Writing Not Supported

CDF writing is not supported, but you can read CDF files.

Sun Solaris Run-Time Libraries

MATLAB dynamically links against the Solaris C-n- Run-Time Library, which

must reside on the same machine.

To determine whether this library is already installed, type the following line

in a UNIX shell. (If you get a

match response, then you need to install it from

your Solaris system CD.)
