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

I'd like to create a program to handle data (natural
numbers) within a 450,000 x 450,000 array. Which is
the best programming language? I'm considering C, PHP
or Perl.

If it is dense, use a database. If it is sparse, use a linear algebra
library or a program that includes one (e.g. Mathematica).

Or is there any better solution instead of arrays?

Tell us the problem, not the solution.
