[Sorry if this question was already asked and answered before - I'm new to this mailing list.] Recently servers with up to 6TB RAM became relatively affordable to be used with MonetDB (considering total cost of server hw + DB sw license) - but will MonetDB scale well to use all that hardware? I know it can be tried on the cloud using (for example) x1.32xlarge EC2 spot instances but before doing that I'd like to ask people with more knowledge/experience with MonetDB if it at least looks feasible, if there are any important tuning parameters for such hw etc. If you've tired similar hardware and/or know some relevant implementaton details maybe you can share your experience? Thanks. Igor
