I apologize for a basic question, but I hope someone can clarify this for me because searching the web did not uncover much.
I'm running Matlab on a Mac Pro with Mavericks, 64GB of RAM and over 900GB of free disk space. My computations involve pretty large matrices. I've noticed that whenever the amount of Virtual Memory approaches 128GB (in Activity Monitor), the system would pause the Matlab process and produce an "out of Application memory" message.
As far as I know, the only restriction on the amount of virtual memory should be the free disk space, and I have tons of it. But the OS does not want to increase virtual memory beyond twice the amount of the physical memory.
I wonder what's going on, is it a Matlab limitation?
Thanks
