title: Testing a Java library using 100 - 1000 GB of memory
body: <p>I have an <a href="http://code.google.com/p/vanilla-java/wiki/HugeCollections">open source library</a> which is designed to support very large collections efficiently.  I have tested it on my PC with 24 GB but would like to test it on much a larger system, up to 1 TB. Most hosting solutions don't support this sort of memory sizes and I only need access for brief periods of time.</p>
  
  <p>What I have tested is a collection of 500 million objects with 12 fields the full GC time is below 0.11 seconds. I have another test were it stores 128 billion elements with just one bit.</p>
  
  <p>The library/test is small, so I don't have require much other than <strong>a lot</strong> of main memory.</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any suggestions on how I could do this testing without buying my own server with 96 or 192 GB?</p>
