memory - Display memory information

Syntax

memory userview = memory [userview systemview] = memory

Description

memory displays information showing how much memory is available and how much the MATLAB^® software is currently using. The information displayed at your computer screen includes the following items, each of which is described in a section below:

• Maximum Possible Array

• Memory Available for All Arrays

• Memory Used By MATLAB

• Total Physical Memory (RAM)

userview = memory returns user-focused information on memory use in structure userview. The information returned in userview includes the following items, each of which is described in a section below:

• Maximum Possible Array

• Memory Available for All Arrays

• Memory Used By MATLAB

[userview systemview] = memory returns both user- and system-focused information on memory use in structures userview and systemview, respectively. The userview structure is described in the command syntax above. The information returned in systemview includes the following items, each of which is described in a section below:

• Virtual Address Space

• System Memory

• Physical Memory

Output

Each of the sections below describes a value that is displayed or returned by the memory function.

Maximum Possible Array

Maximum Possible Array is the size of the largest contiguous free memory block. As such, it is an upper bound on the largest single array MATLAB can create at this time.

MATLAB derives this number from the smaller of the following two values:

• The largest contiguous memory block found in the MATLAB virtual address space

• The total available system memory

To see how many array elements this number represents, divide by the number of bytes in the array class. For example, for a double array, divide by 8. The actual number of elements MATLAB can create is always fewer than this number.

When you enter the memory command without assigning its output, MATLAB displays this information as a string. When you do assign the output, MATLAB returns the information in a structure field. See the table below.

Command	Returned in
memory	String labelled Maximum possible array:
user = memory	Structure field user.MaxPossibleArrayBytes

All values are double-precision and in units of bytes.

Footnotes

When you enter the memory command without specifying any outputs, MATLAB may also display one of the following footnotes. 32-bit systems show either the first or second footnote; 64-bit systems show only the second footnote:

Limited by contiguous virtual address space available.

There is sufficient system memory to allow mapping of all virtual addresses in the largest available block of the MATLAB process. The maximum amount of total MATLAB virtual address space is either 2 GB or 3 GB, depending on whether the /3GB switch is in effect or not.

Limited by System Memory (physical + swap file) available.

There is insufficient system memory to allow mapping of all virtual addresses in the largest available block of the MATLAB process.

Memory Available for All Arrays

Memory Available for All Arrays is the total amount of memory available to hold data. The amount of memory available is guaranteed to be at least as large as this field.

MATLAB derives this number from the smaller of the following two values:

• The total available MATLAB virtual address space

• The total available system memory

When you enter the memory command without assigning its output, MATLAB displays this information as a string. When you do assign the output, MATLAB returns the information in a structure field. See the table below.

Command	Returned in
memory	String labelled Memory available for all arrays:
user = memory	Structure field user.MemAvailableAllArrays
