DEPRECATED. Do not start building new projects based on this package. Cross-platform alternatives are the following packages: bigmemory (CRAN), ff (CRAN), BufferedMatrix (Bioconductor). The main usage of it was inside the aroma.affymetrix package. (The package currently provides a class representing a matrix where the actual data is stored in a binary format on the local file system. This way the size limit of the data is set by the file system and not the memory.)
R package R.huge is available on CRAN and can be installed in R as:
install.packages("R.huge")
To install the pre-release version that is available in Git branch develop on GitHub, use:
remotes::install_github("HenrikBengtsson/R.huge", ref="develop")
This will install the package from source.
