[erlang-questions] Experience with much memory

[Richard Carlsson]

We have been running Erlang/OTP on machines with up to 3 TB of RAM, for
many years. The Beam VM has no problems with this; we have seen single
Erlang processes within a Beam use a few hundred GB of temporary data and
then deallocate it again, while the VMs can keep running for months on end.
The problems at that scale typically show up in the OS kernel, and you may
need to tune it to avoid long pauses in the OS memory management, and
occasionally flush the page cache to defragment the RAM.
