We are working with a database that requires a large amount of memory allocated by a single process. This is on an Intel 32-bit platform. We'd like to go > 3GB of memory per process. Is this possible on a 32-bit machine? I have been reading the various 'highmem' discussions, but that's kernel page tables... Or is this a glibc issue, and not proper for a kernel-list question? Any pointers would be appreciated. The Intel ESMA (Extended Server Memory Arch) page states that it's possible, but.....how?
