- I need the huge virtual space for 386BSD.
-
- I found that the current limitation is as little as 32MB.
-
- I would like to use as large as 1GB of virtual memory for one
- process or program to do the large FEM computations.
- ( I allocated 2GB of HDD for that. Don't tell me that I should not
- do the pagings. The algorithm is quite efficient to suppress the
- paging to minimal. )
-
- I tried to change the parameters in the header files to
- reconfigure the kernel. However, it seems my change is not
- correct enough. I guess I do not know enough to do the right
- modifications. With huge size of pages, probably many part of
- the sourcecode of the kernel need to be modified, I guess.
-
- Has anyone succesfully using the 386BSD with larger virtual
- space per process than just 32MB ?
-
- What is the logical limit of the virtual memory size per process
- of the currect implementation of the 386BSD system ? I would like
- to know.
-
- Oh please, if anyone know the right way to expand the limitation,
- please post the direction.
-
- Than you.
