Octave Out-of-Core Solution?

[Neal Martin]

Can someone explain how Octave handles the situation in which a user
runs a large job that
exceeds the memory capacity of the system (for example, 1M X 1M FFT)?
In particular, if 
the system is configured with a large swap space, is it used?  Is the
implementation of 
the FFT done as an out-of-core solution?  If so, does it fail under
certain system 
configuration conditions and what are these conditions?

Thanks, Neal
