&gt; Does anybody know how I can load parts of a matrix into matlab instead of all at once? because matlab won't allow me to load it all at once because the matrix is too big. Thanks.

If you have a wintel multi-core PC, then try this:

- Push &lt;ctrl&gt;-&lt;alt&gt;-&lt;del&gt; to bring up the task manager
- Right-click on the matlab process in the processes view
- Select 'set affinity...' in the pop-up menu
- De-select CPU0
- Press 'OK'

This will cause the matlab process to be run on one
of the other cores available. With a little luck,
the OS and most of the other processes run on CPU0
core, meaning lots of the memory associated with this
core is not available to matlab.

If this doesn't work, try the same again but deselect
some other core.
