Hi. I can't find a direct answer for these two linked questions, hence the query to this email address.
We're looking into FreeBSD running on Athlon64 processors to give us the
ability to handle seriously huge datasets. We did buy a G5 machine, but
their implementation of BSD seems still only able to malloc() up to a
4Gb process limit which is hardly what their advertising says!
Find the right list at apple to ask this for your G5 machine. There are separate libraries for the 64bit malloc etc so to be extra sure go find the right list at lists.apple.com. I don't have a G5, still on a G4, so I don't know the answer myself, but I did read a discussion on a list a while back that sounded similar.

Therefore, does the AMD64 FreeBSD port allow you to malloc() or mmap() past this 4Gb per process limit. We're typically wanting to address up to 256Gb in a single process.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.
Regards,
A.
