Since Gridgen is compiled 32-bit, it can only address up to 2 Gb of memory. However, you may see a lower artificial limit on either the HP or IBM platforms due to the system’s default datasize limit. This limit can be adjusted by the user on IBM platforms, but must be changed with a kernel rebuild by the system administrator on HP platforms.
