What are the size limitations imposed on AMPS by the operating system?
The Microsoft Operating Systems limit the size of files that can be used. This in turn limits the number of nodes and elements that can be used in AMPS. These limits are based on the file formats being used. Usually, FAT32 format limit the file size to be 4 giga byte, but using the new NTFS file format will remove this file size limit. Since AMPS uses 64 bit file table addressing, and as long as the NTFS is used and there is enough disk space, essentially the problem size that AMPS can solve is only limited by the fixed disk storage limit.
