  • in a study i will produce large arrays.
  • Each array will have at least 500 MB size.
  • Each array will have the same number of rows.
  • the total size of dataset will be approximately 20 GB or over.
  • Somehow I have to create a single variable/array which includes all data and size of 20 GB.
matfile seems a good solution. However when the size of file increases, it gets slower. How can i handle this problem?

It works to a degree. When i try to append a 2 GB file to a 4GB file it gets slower. MATLAB does wonderful things. I believe it can handle this or is it impossible to create a really large file with using ordinary computers?

Here are some things you could try:
Use the matfile function, which allows you to access and change variables directly in MAT-files, without loading into memory: http://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/large-mat-files.html http://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matfile.html
Structure your data differently: - if you are representing the data as doubles, maybe you can afford less accuracy e.g. use int32. For example, you can use scaling of 1e4 to represent a double value such as 100.3425 as an integer 1003425.
With MATLAB:
  • use 64 bit matlab version
  • try disabling compression when saving the files, with the -v6 option
Optimize your PC for your task:

In one of the links provided above I have run across following code
example = matfile('example.mat','Writable',true);
[nrowsB,ncolsB] = size(example,'B');
for row = 1:nrowsB
example.B(row,:) = row * example.B(row,:);
end
And that solved my problem. Thanks
