You'll need to build octave, and include the option "--enable-64" when you run configure.

Before doing that, do have you enough RAM for a double vector of length = 15.36G?  You'll need 122.88 GBytes of RAM just for your vector.

A "while" loop might be more appropriate:

i = 1;

while (i <= 15360000000)

  % do something

  i = i+1;

end
