Subject: java memory limitations
The recent post about java memory limits brings to mind something that has
been in the back of my mind for awhile. This is just a general question about
java. It is my understanding that the java vm is 32 bit even on architectures
that support 64 bit addressing. Is this true and if so why in the world? I
find this especially puzzling given that java is a sun product and sun's
sparc architecture has been 64 bit for some time now.
Mercy. It's a virtual machine but it cannot deal with virtual memory without
you having to supply cheesy memory parameters. Accessing up to the limit of
memory should be automatic (even if it is only 32 bit).
