Allocating more than physical memory

A user has a large application that requires more memory than the machine
has (16Gb)...

We've set all the kernel parameters to allow allocation of upto 32Gb
memory, but it won't allocate more than 16Gb.

Is this actually possible & what do we have change / tune to allow this to
happen?

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan
