There are also database programs that want to mmap() large sparse files.
To some extent that is where the pressure for 64bit addresses comes from.
While (I think) most of the current riscv systems are 'toy' ones
there are definitely press reports of some quite high power systems.
I suspect they are less 'toy' than the Altera (Intel) Nios processors
we use on out fpga - you can run linux on the Nios cpu, but you probably
don't really want to do so.
Better to find an fpga with a 'proper' ARM core in the corner.
