When working with these large.
Matlab how to load mat file.
Sign in to answer this question.
I use the v 73 flag because the file was more than 2gb.
Save and load parts of variables in mat files.
You can save and load parts of variables directly in mat files without loading them into memory using the matfile function.

I have a very large mat file that is about 8 gb it contains a couple of structure with data.
If filename has no extension that is no text after a period load looks for a file named filename mat if filename has an extension other than mat the load function treats.
And just like a box can contain something so can a structure hold your data.
Is there any other way to load it faster.
And to load it it takes about 10 minutes with an ssd.
A structure is like a box.
Filename can include a file extension and a full or partial path.
You will type according to your mat file.
The primary advantage of using the matfile function over the load or save functions is that you can process parts of very large data sets that are otherwise too large to fit in memory.
The structure s is not your original data array but a container that contains your data array.
Load load filename load filename x y z load filename regexp exprlist load mat filename.
When you wish to access your data you first need to get it out of the structure just like you would get something out of the box before you can use it.
Name of file specified as a character vector or string scalar.
