Subject: Ruby, Analysis, and Tons of RAM

Does anyone have experience with using Ruby for analysis (*lots* of
maths), on a machine with a ridiculous amount of RAM? For example, a
hip 64-bit Linux kernel on a machine with 32 or 64 GB of physical RAM.

Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of? Would all the RAM be
addressable by a given Ruby process? Or would I still have to be
forking a number of processes, each allocated a bit of the address
space (blech)?

Thanks, oh Ruby masters.
