<architecture> (VLM) A processor and operating system that
can use more than 4GB of RAM, which is the limit for systems
using 32-bit addresses.
VLM architectures allow application programs and Very Large
Databases with more than 4GB of data to be placed entirely in
physical memory, with large performance enhancements.
Some recent processors like the DEC Alpha can process 64
bits of data at a time and use addresses wider than 32 bits.
