-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, For my internship, I have to find a way to manage more than 4GB of memory with 32 bits processors. It seems that the FreeBSD kernel is the perfect candidate for that. According to the architecture handbook(*), "FreeBSD could theoretically handle memory configurations up to 8TB on a 32 bit platform." For the last two days, I was looking for documentation, articles, thesis, or e-mails on that topic, but I can't find relevant informations. Is anybody have informations on that topic ? Where should I start to read the source code to find my answers ? Thank you in advance.
