A SEMINAR ON 64 BIT COMPUTING
64-bit Computing The best and simple definition is enhancing the processing word in the architecture to 64 bits. Data processing speed does not change yet the data processed in a clock cycle increases two times. The addressable memory increases from 4 GB to 264 = 18 billion GB
64-bit Computing
Is 64-bit Computing necessary?
Benefits of 64-bit Computing Allowing applications to store vast amount of data in main memory Manipulating data and executing instructions in chunks that are twice as large as in 32-bit computing. Allowing complex calculations with a high-level precision.
32-bit Computing In a 32-bit microprocessor; There are 32-bit general purpose registers in the processor. There are 232 = 4GB memory to be addressed.
32-bit vs. 64-bit Processors
64-bit Registers
AMD Athlon 64 FX Processors The AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor is the world’s best PC processor.” -- AMD Inc.
