如何在Google Go中增加堆空间

Question

I'm running the Go code from Rober Hundt's benchmark to compare performance of Go with the other languages. When I run the Go code from that benchmark (see http://code.google.com/p/multi-language-bench/source/browse/trunk/src/#src%2Fhavlak%2Fgo) I get an out of memory exception:

................runtime: out of memory: cannot allocate 1048576-byte block (1270808576 in use) throw: out of memory

My question is how I can increase Go's memory space. Is there some start-up parameter or some flag for the compiler that can be set accordingly? The Makefile file of the Go source doesn't reveal anything...

Thanks, Oliver

One can only wildly guess - for the lack of more details.

• If you're running a 32 bit Go version, try the 64 bit one instead and use the tip revision.
• If possible, use a *nix platform - it has IMO better memory management.
