Re: 450,000x450,000 array: The best programming language to handle it

Hi.

Thank you very much for your quick answers. I try to handle data from a
450x450 meter surface.

I've got 100,000 elements distributed on this surface, and each
square millimeter can hold one or more elements. So the array to create
is a sparse one: most of square millimeters holds zero elements, and
the rest, 20 or less.

I'm trying to find the square meter with more elements inside.

Thank you very much.

the best programming language? I'm considering C, PHP
or Perl.

Or is there any better solution instead of arrays?Won't work, for at least the next 10 years. Consider sparse
arrays. What are you trying to do?
