    1717With all of the extra buffer space that the hardware design is capable of, the chief limitation on usable buffer sizes shifts burden to the user's PC. Each sample is represented as a complex double precision floating point number  in a MATLAB, occupying 8 bytes in memory.

    19 The table below shows the storage size of various sample vectors, up to the new maximum vector lengths in WARPLab 7.5. Note these sizes are how much RAM is required to store each vector in the MATLAB workspace. Retrieving the vector and processing the vector requires additional RAM. Depending on the amount of RAM on the host PC and what other programs are currently running, a user should limit the number of samples they are working with to stay under the total available memory. If MATLAB's memory utilization rises too far, it is common that the MATLAB application will stall while the OS swaps memory to disk.
