The "(multiple times)" part probably means batching or streaming.

But yeah, they might have that much RAM. At a rather small company I was at we had a third of it in the virtualisation cluster. I routinely put customer databases in the hundreds of gigabytes into RAM to do bug triage and fixing.

Indeed, what I meant to say is that you can load it in multiple batches. However, now thinking, I did play around with servers of TiBs of memory :-)
