Array size

[ecstasis]

While trying to create a 2-dimensional array of integers of size 10000x10000 I get the System.OutOfMemoryException.
As I have estimated, 10000x10000x4 = 400000000bytes which is about 380 Mbytes. I had more than of 1G free physical memory + virtual memory. So, why is this exception thrown?

First, I have to ask why exactly you're creating a 2d array that size...

That's my task. I need multiply matrices of similar size. I realize, that C# is not the best choise for such tasks, but that's all i have. I was going to estimate the time it takes for performing such calculations and see if it affordable.

First, you may not have a contiguous range of memory in that size free. See

I'd recommend as someone there did: use an ArrayList if possible
