[FRIAM] Large Memory Java Applications

[Owen Densmore]

I started a discussion on large memory java applications on Java  
Lobby.  Basically how to approach graph problems with 250 million  
nodes.  The response was surprisingly good!
   http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t72726.html

It seems there are two approaches:
- Hardware: build a large server or a cluster and use interesting  
distributed solutions that have become available for this
- Software: use interesting streaming|piping solutions, or possibly  
DB-like disk solutions that can be tuned for your application.

Has anyone here tackled truly large problems like this successfully?
