The machine has 32GB of memory, so I hope that should be more than sufficient!

$ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 268288 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 1024 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited

Admittedly I don't typically look at ulimit, so please excuse me if I interpret this wrong, but I feel like this is indicating that the only artificial limit in place is a maximum of 64kB mlock()'d memory.

Thanks, Corey
