Hi Fredrik,
We at the High Performance Computing Support Unit at the University of
New South Wales have ported Octave (v.2.1.57) to 64 bits on an SGI
MIPSpro platform (should be quite protable). This has not been absorbed
to the main octave code base at octave.org yet. However, we can make our
version (based on v.2.1.57)available to you for further testing. We are
working on merging with the 2.1.64 version now.
We have ran through the test-suite that came with Octave, and our 64bits
seem to pass the tests. You may need to test it out yourself to verify
64bit-readiness. I don't think we use specific MIPSpro C++ code so it
should be portable to Solaris. There may be one or two lines in the
configuration file that need to be changed - that's all.
Cheers,
Clinton Chee

Hi All,
We are trying to compile Octave on a 64-bit Solaris machine. So
far we have only been able to allocate about 2GB of ram, using
A = ones(N,N);
for example. Is Octave limited to 32-bit memory adressing or
can octave (given proper compiler flags) use the full 64-bit
adress space?
Regards,
Fredrik
