[R] Error because of large dimension

Hi all,
  I am doing some calculation with very large dimension. I need to create a
matrix
with three columns and a very large number of rows
(3195*1290*495*35*35*35*15=1.312083e+15) i
n order to allocate calculation result from a for loop.
R does not allow me to create such a matrix because of the large dimension
(see below). Is there a way to go around this?
  Thanks very much!!
     Hanna
