Hello:
I have a little problem, i participe in the 'Large Compression
Benchmark' (http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/text.html) and
need to cache the whole enwik8 file (100MB) on memory but when i try
to allocate space for it i get a compiler error, saying that maximum
is 64MB (67108864). I tried to use $MEMORY 200000000,500000000 (200MB
stack and 500MB heap) and the compiler switches, but no success.
I need all the file on RAM beacause i want to do a BWT, which
implies a sort of the 100MB and uses 400 more MB, and doing so from
hard disk is very slow. The contest has a time limit of 10 hours on a
1Ghz machine, but i need all speed at BWT/sort phase, so i can spend
the time on getting better compression.
Must i touch the system, rtl etc... files and recompile compiler? Or
is there another, and simpler, way?
P.D. Of course, my pc has more than 100 MB (1.25 GB)
