Check memory in script

Hi, I'm running large matrix operations in a for-loop on an old machine. Sometimes, I get an out-of-memory error. I think I can use to pack function to store what I have calculated, and run the rest with somewhat more memory. Is there a way to check for memory availability in a script, and act accordingly? It's a 32bit windows.

Thanks! Jaap

Hi,

see here:

So you can use

feature memstats

or use the -memory on option for the MATLAB profiler:

profile –memory on

(Note: feature memstats is only available on MS Windows)
