I have a huge symmetric matrix M and I want to get the eigenvectors to the k smallest eigenvalues of M (which have to be greater than 0). I know that the smallest eigenvalue is 0.
Currently I am using
eigs(M,k,eps)
but this results in memory consumption of over 100GB of RAM.

Actually I have 128GB but the systems also needs some resources. Nonetheless my memory is not enough. It was swapping something like 50GB so I don't know how much memory there would be needed... (Even 200GB might be not enough.)
Therefore I am open for suggestions. M is a 150k x 150k matrix. Are there any approximate methods which need much less memory?

I don't really understand why it's taking so much memory. What happens when you do
eigs(M,k,'sm')

If M contains many 0's you can define M as a sparse matrix to speed up computation.
