I have been trying to program with large matrices, but unfortunately I have been getting an error that my permitted memory has been exceeded. I have read various ways online that it is possible to increase the permitted memory using Command Line Options (e.g. -m 4g), but GAP keeps saying there are syntax errors. I run GAP with Windows and am not the most technologically savvy. Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance!
To launch a windows program with command line arguments, you need to first create shortcut to it, and then open up the properties of that shortcut so that you can add them to the target. You can then use the modified shortcut to launch your program with the desired options.
Here is a question from another stackexchange site about the correct syntax. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good reference question on stackexchange for the general question, but you should be able to google to get more information if this and that isn't helpful enough.
(or even post the general question about adding command line arguments over at https://superuser.com)
