[GAP Forum] Extending Memory for GAP tasks on Macs OS X

[Sandeep Murthy]

Hi.

I am running a GAP program (on a Mac Intel-dual core
running OS X Leopard) which has to search
in the space of all triples of subsets of a
given group of size n, this space being 2^(3n)
large.  At present, it seems that if n > 6 then
GAP fails due to lack of permitted memory.

My questions are:

1. how much memory is permitted for GAP by
default?

2. how can I extend the memory required for
this program? (I have 2 GB of DDR2 RAM on
my machine).

Sincerely, Sandeep.
