Should one interpret this as GHC now targets 64-bit systems or does one need to employ some sort of clevernesss to use this much memory? (I posted this question a while ago and was told that GHC did not at that time support 64-bit so could not use that much memory) On a related note, does GHC n

[Haskell] Realistic max size of GHC heap

2005-09-14 Thread Karl Grapone
Hello, I'm considering using haskell for a system that could, potentially, need 5GB-10GB of live data. My intention is to use GHC on Opteron boxes which will give me a max of 16GB-32GB of real ram. I gather that GHC is close to being ported to amd64. Is it a realistic goal to operate with a heap
