memory allocation question

[Steven G. Kargl]

I may have finally talked my boss into updating my computational
workstation (which runs FreeBSD).  The directions of our computations
is leading towards massive memory requirement.  So, the question is:
If I have an AMD64 system with 16GB of memory and appropriate kernel
options, can a single process allocate >15 GB for its use?
