The original question didn't have a lot of details that would allow the posters to offer more detailed suggestions. If you're running into a problem where you're running out of memory, I recommend posting it as a new question (with as much detail as you can) and you may receive more specific guidance or suggestions.

With RAM running about $10/GB, you can buy your way out of this problem for a small amount of money (assuming your system can take the additional RAM and that you are running a 64-bit OS)

If you are using 32 bit MATLAB on 32 bit Windows, then make sure you have enabled the boot-time /3G flag of your operating system. https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/833721/available-switch-options-for-the-windows-xp-and-the-windows-server-200

Note: R2015b was the last MATLAB version for 32 bit Windows.
