Hi all,
I am running a program in MATLAB which needs to find out the past iterations for a 1510*1510 matrix. I ran the program but after getting executed for some hours it is
displaying an error saying
'??? Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options'.
Actually I do have lot of space in my parent drive of my system but still I am facing the
above error. When I ran the program for 5 iterations it got executed properly.
Can anyone please help me out by suggesting some ways to prevent the above error.
Appreciate for the help.

Thanks and Regards,
Subrat Kumar Swain.

Use the 'clear' command to clear any unnecessary intermediate variables wherever possible. You can also use 'pack' to consolidate workspace memory. Pre-allocating your storage is also a good idea. Hope this helps. If not, we would need more details on what exactly you are doing.

Perhaps you could also save each iteration of the matrix, then clear it?
