hi
i have a file of size 6.9.GB. how can i make fortran to read this file?
basically the file is a matrix of dimension 134217728 x 27
i'm using a work-station having 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HDD
A segmentation fault error is related to memory: the software is trying to access a memory location that is not allowed to be accessed for some reason. A solution can be to increase the stack space (see man ulimit for details) to let the program do its work and then restore the original value. By the way, I am surprised that the code has been compiled, since usually there are limits in the size of arrays. Which fortran compiler are you using? And what about CPU model and amount of swap?

thanks, but ulimit can not help me out as i already made those value maximum.i'm using g77 compiler. CPU is a workstation with xeon prosessor and 2GB ram
Can you buffer it so it only processes the document so many bytes at a time?
Also, you could be getting the segmentation fault due to there not being enough memory for the file to be open (most likely). You have 2GB of RAM, but how big is the swap space partition on your drive?
