[comp.sys.sgi] Virtual space per process

XBR2D96D@DDATHD21.BITNET (Knobi der Rechnerschrat) (07/12/89)

Hallo,

  just a small question: what is the maximal available virtual address space
(not counting swap space or physical memory) for each process on:

  an IRIS 4D/20
  an IRIS 4D/50/60/70/80 (using the MIPS 20xx chips)
  a  Power Series machine (using the MIPS 30xx chips)

The maximum per-process virtual address space on all the 4D machines
is 2 Gb.  A smaller per-process virtual address space can be enforced
by changing the MAXUMEM definition in the /usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel
file and lboot'ing a new kernel (MAXUMEM is expressed in 4K pages).
