What is the maximum amount of RAM that humanity has been able to put on a computer (server)?

Does anyone know how much humanity has been able to cram operatives into a computer?
And how many maximum processors, video cards, etc.?
Who knows on this matter. Say very interesting. I didn’t manage to google the info, one contra and minecraft pops out.
And in general, with regard to computers, you can also tell. Interesting facts, etc.
It will be interesting to read. Especially for beginners =)

First place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunway_TaihuLight

The Sunway TaihuLight uses a total of 40,960 Chinese-designed SW26010 manycore 64-bit RISC processors based on the Sunway architecture. Each processor chip contains 256 processing cores, and an additional four auxiliary cores for system management (also RISC cores, just more fully featured) for a total of 10,649,600 CPU cores across the entire system.
Memory 1.31 PB (5591 TB/s total bandwidth)
Not the fact of course that he is the leader in RAM.

On March 14, 2018, in fierce battles near Vienna, government troops managed to shove 2 terabytes of RAM into a server by 4 a.m. by now, the opposing forces had already pulled out most of it.

@pfg21

the technical limit is 2^64 = 18 billion petabytes per modern address bus.
the limitation now is only in the need for application.
IMHO several terabytes - tens of terabytes per processor assembly, more is simply not needed.
probably you need to look at Google's Yandex search servers, they have a lot of information there that needs to be quickly given and kept.
and even then there all the tables are as parallel as possible, they are divided into small servers.

Look at mainframes: IBM z14, HPE Superdome2, etc.
Upd: z14 - 32Tb

The Yadro company published posts on Habré about its server with 8 TB of memory.
