Wasm64 will soon be everywhere if you want more than 4GB of address space. No, I was saying you could simulate larger heaps by selectively paging data memory in and out, you would still need a way to represent your max heap size. Wasm also supports multimemories, https://github.com/WebAssembly/multi-memory | ||

Interesting! https://github.com/WebAssembly/multi-memory/blob/main/propos... The scaling point is what I was thinking of. "As long as Wasm memories are limited to 32 bit address space, there is no way to scale out of 4 GB memory efficiently. Multiple memories at least provide an efficient workaround until 64 bit memories become available (which may still take a while)." So pretty similar to launching several processes on 32 bit NT or Linux, each having their own memory space. |
