[ale] Using giant matrix in Matlab

[Omar Chanouha]

A friend of mine is trying to use matlab for some statistics research.
The issue is that he needs to make an 8 dimensional matrix that
contains 22,267^8 elements, and he keeps running out of memory for
obvious reasons. Has anyone else had to deal with giagantic data
structures of this nature? A non-matlab solution is definitley
acceptable. I was thinking that he could put the matrix into SQL
tables on another server and query the server for the data as he needs
it. That is just a shot in the dark though.

Thanks,
