I'd like to add a note regarding the 4G/4G split issue. Unlike
hugemem in CentOS/RHEL-4, the PAE kernel in CentOS/RHEL-5 does not
provide 4GB per user process. In this regard, there is no
hugemem-equivalent in CentOS/RHEL-5. This was mentioned in the
upstream bugzilla [1]. In other words, applications that can take
advantage of 4GB per process should benefit from the 64-bit.
There is a description in section 40.1 (kernel-PAE) of the CentOS
online documentation:
"4GB/4GB split: 4GB of virtual address space for the kernel and almost
4GB for each user process on x86 systems"
This is incorrect and has been removed from the same page upstream. I
filed a bug report regarding updating the CentOS lnline doc [2].
