32 bit 64 bit

New 64 bit computers
Anyone doing logic board design at Apple will understand the tradeoffs in building a 32 bit memory interface vs a 64 bit one. (In fact I'd expect them to have a quantitative analysis of each design.) However, in the target application (a PowerBook) tradeoffs that reduce size, power consumption, and cost but reduce

When will Tcl support >32-bit addressable memory?
Will Denny wjd444...@yahoo.co.uk microsoft public windowsxp help_and_support We have been trying to run a 64-bit app. on a 32-bit OS. ATM, we don't think that it is possible, because the 64-bit code will not call any 32-bit .DLLs. Writing 64-bit .DLLs would defeat the object. I haven't got access to a 64-bit CPU

32 bit or 64 bit
Do you have specific requirements for 64-bit computation and use of massive applications ? Being in mind that even when we do ship the AMD64 64-bit version of the Windows XP operating system, what applications are you going to run in native 64-bit mode ? running 32-bit applications on any 64-bit processor always

64 bit counters again
I totally disagree with Terry that 64 bit counter is only slightly more difficult to overflow then 32 bit. We will never (in near future - several years) If you don't like 64 bit, your fix (to count in KB) only adds 10 bits of range, switch to 64 bit adds 32 bit. I understand that global counter could be made

32-bit or 64-bit ?
For example, if I try to download ncurses5.2 , should I compile it as 32 bit or 64 bit? would 32bit programs running in 64bit kernel will make performance slower/faster ? If so, should I fall back to the 32 bit kernel ? Build user level programs as 32 bit unless they can make use of features only available to 64

32-bit vs 64-bit
All of the marketing hype for the "64 bit" Unixes hawks on about being able to do more work than 32 bit systems and Sun even has the balls to compare their boxes to mainframes. BTW. I put that in quotes for emphasis - there aren't any genuine 64 bit virtual addressing implementations anyway.

64 bit API/ABI changes proposal for -current
While I would tend to disagree with their time frame (I feel that by 2010 the need for 64-bit chips will have become rather desperate), what this means is that there will likely be lots of software around to support 32-bit chips for a while when it comes to IBM PCs. SNIP Thanks, I think that clears things up a bit

64 Bit Windows And Athlon 64 On The Way
(B) This is also from the AIX 5.1 /usr/lpp/bos/README file: It is possible to switch between the 32-bit and 64-bit kernels without reinstalling the operating system. This can be done by modifying the /usr/lib/boot/unix and /unix to be a symbolic link to the binary for the desired kernel, running the bosboot command

emulating 64 bit divide with only 32 bit datatypes in pure c/c++
First we have two loaders both residing in /lib, a 32 bit and a 64 bit loader. On Linux for zSeries this are /lib/ld.so.1 for 32 bit architectures and /lib/ld64.so.1 for the 64 bit architectures. They know where their suitable libraries reside. When I built the first rough emulation for our ThinkBlue/64

Compiling in 32/64-bit mode with a G5
I have XP x64, and have no compatibility problems, so I would have no hesitations with upgrading to vista 64 over 32 - however, I can only get the 32 bit version from my college using the huge discount. Just how much better would x64 be than 32? I DO have a 64 bit processor (Athlon 64 dual core 4400+, 2 gig ram,

How does this compare with Windows 2000 x-bit (please don't say 2-bit, though it may be tempting!)? It is rumored that microsoft is doing some work on a future 64-bit version of windows. Linux is 64-bit on 64-bit platforms, and 32-bit on 32-bit platforms. For instance, on Intel ia64, Ultra Sparc, Alpha,

64-bit IA-32, AMD and all that
Das ist etwas uebertrieben. jint und jfloat haben auch in 64-bit VMs wirklich nur 32-bit und werden auch mit 32-bit Operationen bearbeitet. Ja, aberdas ist alles noch *vor* der CPU. Ich rede von der Assembler- Ebene, nicht vom VM-Assembler, sondern vom Assembler der CPU selbst,also das, was HotSpot ausspuckt.

Note that 32-bit ActiveX is apparently currently not compatible with 64-bit IE, so it may not work for Flash and video (even though 64-bit MediaPlayer is included). I would be curious if anyone has any specific benchmarks that would be useful for comparison (especially 32 and 64-bit versions).
