W = kron(inv_covariance,I);
??? Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.
Error in ==> kron at 34
K = A(ia,ja).*B(ib,jb);
inv_covariance = 11*11 double, I = ones(598,598)
I ran this code on Tuesday, totally worked. But since yesterday, failed to run.

  • Limited by contiguous virtual address space available. Limited by virtual address space available.
I think there is enough space (Java heap space 943 MB) and tech support helped me to run this code on other computers that have the same operation system as mine and the code worked.
Does this occur to anyone before? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Your W will be around 300 MB and yes it is a common problem.
Any solution is not infinitely scalable in practice due to constraints:
  • memory (RAM).
  • time.

It depends what you need it for...I use a rule of thumb (sorry not literate here). If I were to get too often java errors in the cmd window I would increase the heap space.

Have you tried rebooting? You have 4 GB of RAM, MATLAB is using 331 MB, but can only find 587 MB free.

No, sadly I know little about that. I know it can be done by running msconfig. Then I don't know which to choose and I am afraid that the computer will be restored back to factory settings. Do you know how? Thanks~~

Reduce the Java heap space, I have the standard 128 MB. Also, what system are you running, how many applications do you have at startup?

Can't you just open the task manager and look at what's using what? Close the program using the most memory... 300Mb of RAM is small for most of today's computers. You could also look at using Matt J's KronProd class which skips the full expansion.

Looking into using KronProd, if you have many of these computations to do, is still probably worth your time.

I increased the memory allocated to MATLAB R2011a by using the steps at the following link resolves the issue:

Now the code runs :) Thanks everyone!
