encountering memory problem using svd_lapack

Hi,

Is there any way to get around the error below from svd_lapack other than
to thin the data by using every other space point?

The data I input into svd_lapack is time x space with these dimension sizes:
Dimensions and sizes: [50] x [8838]

ncl(87431) malloc: *** mmap(size=1916055552) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
fatal:svd_lapack: Unable to allocate memory for coercing output arrays to
double precision
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 179 in file stats_proj.ncl

I'm working on a mac with the following settings from the limit command:
cputime unlimited
filesize unlimited
datasize unlimited
stacksize 16384 kbytes
coredumpsize 0 kbytes
memoryuse unlimited
descriptors 2560
memorylocked unlimited
maxproc 266

Thank you,
