ABSTRACT:
Computer method and apparatus for allocating and accessing large memory. Under a given operating system, the invention apparatus creates multiple processes, each having a corresponding virtual memory space allocated to the process. The generated virtual memory spaces allocated for the created processes are aggregated together to form a single working memory area. An index member cross references the formed working memory area relative to the created processes. As a result, the index member enables access to the generated virtual memory spaces collectively as though they were a single large working memory area.
