Increase default virtual memory
## Summary GHC's virtual memory limit is capped at 1TiB. This has caused some significant and critical breakages when running scientific computations on a highly parallel,share memory computing environment. The issue was briefly discussed here: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/application-memory-limit-1tb/8449/9 It would be greatly appreciated if the virtual memory limit for GHC-9.10.1 was increased to a larger value. If I might make some suggestions, 1. `16TiB` limit would defer the problem for a couple of years. 2. `512TiB` limit would defer this problem for a couple of decades. Either would be more than suitable to remedy our immediate needs, I leave the risk assessment of breakage versus the benefit of longer deferment in your capable hands. ## Steps to reproduce Compile and execute a program which requires more than 1TiB of resident memory while running. ## Expected behavior The program should not abort if the computing environment actually has more than 1TiB of memory. ## Environment * GHC version used: **GHC-9.8.1, GHC-9.6.4** * Operating System: **Linux** * System Architecture: **x86_64**
