Hi all,
I have a class of 16 students who are using Rstudio Cloud to experiment with crime datasets. One student is getting an error code that resolves to "needs more memory for process." It doesn't seem like we would need more memory for the class. I know his dataset is still in the KB range.
It's true that RStudio limits memory to 1GB. However, as you said, this amount should be fine for a small dataset. Without looking at the exact code, or a reproducible example, it's hard to say why one student might be running into this limit. For example, it's very easy to write memory-inefficient code, especially for new users to R.
