chunk.bit: Chunk bit vectors

In OHDSI/ff: Memory-Efficient Storage of Large Data on Disk and Fast Access Functions

Description

chunking method for ffdf objects automatically considering RAM requirements from recordsize as calculated from sum(.rambytes[vmode])

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bit'
chunk(x, RECORDBYTES = .rambytes["logical"], BATCHBYTES = getOption("ffbatchbytes"), ...)

Arguments

x	bit
RECORDBYTES	optional integer scalar representing the bytes needed to process a single element of the bit vector
BATCHBYTES	integer scalar limiting the number of bytes to be processed in one chunk, default from getOption("ffbatchbytes"), see also .rambytes
...	further arguments passed to chunk

Value

A list with ri indexes each representing one chunk

Examples

  n <- 1000
  x <- bit(n)
  ceiling(n / (300 %/% sum(.rambytes["logical"])))
  chunk(x, BATCHBYTES=300)
  ceiling((n/2) / (100 %/% sum(.rambytes["logical"])))
  chunk(x, from=1, to = n/2, BATCHBYTES=100)
  rm(x, n)
