I think you can't do that currently. You can have multiple processes that collectively use more than 4 gigs but each process can only address 4 gigs.

I understand that the Linux kernel can (through PAE) provide memory paging beyond 4GB of physical memory on 32-bit architecture. What I need to understand is: what are the requirements on the application side to utilize this memory? I'm looking for documentation / links that talk about applications and PAE.
Case in point: Lotus Notes on OS400 can address huge amount of RAM, but when it's running on Linux does it need to be compiled in a specific manner, or with some specific bit of code / API to address more than the architecture physically supports?
Thanx Don
