"store":  Do you mean for working with it in "realtime" or for keeping 
it for the next time the program is started ?

When doing a with a 64 bit program it might be possible and appropriate 
just to use an array and have the OS do the dirty work of virtual memory 
management, using a huge swap partition.

Of course loading the data from a file when starting the program and 
storing it before ending might take some time. (BTW: this could be using 
compression.)
