Virtual Memory I: the problemVirtual Memory I: the problemPosted Mar 11, 2004 17:23 UTC (Thu) by parimi (subscriber, #5773)Parent article: Virtual Memory I: the problem Jon, Thanks for such an informative article! I thought SGI's Altix was able to handle a huge amount of memory. Does anyone know if SGI's kernel also uses the 4G/4G patch?

Altix Posted Mar 11, 2004 17:30 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] "I thought SGI's Altix was able to handle a huge amount of memory. Does anyone know if SGI's kernel also uses the 4G/4G patch?" I do believe that Altix systems are Itanium-based, so they don't have to deal with all this obnoxious stuff.
Virtual Memory I: the problem Posted Mar 20, 2004 1:35 UTC (Sat) by mysticalreaper (guest, #20326) [Link] As the other reply stated, SGI's altix runs on Intel's Itanium 2 processors, which are 64 bit, and thus, can address a silly amount of memory (2^64 bytes) and so do not suffer these silly problems.
