\ No newline at end of file
+ExaArray is a .NET library for exa-scale array-like structures. By using this library, it becomes possible to
+add up to 4.4 quintillion i.e. 4,410,000,000,000,000,000 elements into one array. When using `byte` for `T`,
+this would need at least approx. 3.8 EB of memory.
