  In this work we attempt to determine the mass anomalous dimension of the
SU(N) gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, in
the limit of large N. The method uses the mode number of the Dirac operator, as
done in arXiv:1204.4432 for the SU(2) theory in a large volume. Taking
advantage of large-N volume reduction we do this on a 2^4 lattice, but we
should still get infinite-volume physics in the large-N limit. We find
promising initial results, both volume reduction and the mode number method
seem to work, but the effective volume of our lattices is probably still too
small to reliably determine the mass anomalous dimension at the IRFP, and so
results at larger N are required.
