another 32 64 bit question

how to find if OS is 64 or 32 bit ??
Tom You can safely create 64-bit and 32-bit instances in parallel on the same system. pick a user that you want to be the owner of that instance (it has to If you want to keep them separate, pick another user for the fenced userID (this also has to be distinct from the fenced userID of the 32bit instance) and

eCS Question
... I thought I'd ask this question anyway. Vista will be for both 32 bit and 64 bit processors. how to I change from 32 bit to 64 bit processor. Must I change the CPU or is another tweak available? If a CPU change is the only way, what sort of extra dollars are we talking about for the extra 32 bits?

Why 64-bit games? (Was: Re: Speed, and its need ...)
If we started from a 64-bit codebase and wanted to make it compatible with 32-bit code, it wouldn't take too much coding, but going the other way is an This brings up another area of heartache. Most OS/2 device drivers are 16-bit. The KEE interface (which is something I forgot to add to my laundry list of

But that isn'ta showstopper for me because I can compile iptables myself and the machines are protected through another firewall anyway. The default is 4GB, but you can get 3GB by running it under linux32 --3gb 4 Gbyte is fine for me. The 64bit kernel never uses highmem. I see, it wouldn't make any sense.

Long Wire Antenna Questions
When he says, however, No one in their right mind would create yet another architectural version (ie, R4K minus all 64-bit stuff) for a couple % of die space. On many 32-bit architectures, the cost hit for 64-bit add, 32x32->64 bit multiply, and 64 by 32 -> 32 + 32 bit divide is not terrible (say a factor of

You can still run the 32-bit on a separate machine (eg, a laptop) as long as you otherwise meet the usual single user requirements.

Upgrade from 32 to 64
This is still an interesting answer to the initial question. What you have is not a definition of the size of an int, only a definition of its smallest possible size. So, how big is it, From this I can logically, and I believe correctly, assume that a 64 bit int is every bit as conforming as a 32 bit int.

64 or 32 bit ?
Eric originally said the latter (32 + 32 = "64-bit"), but recanted his statements when asked to double-check. I'd like to hear something from Rob Nicholson on this topic. Another reason: The 3DO includes a dual-speed CD-ROM, which will be a Jag peripheral for $250 if it's not simply vaporware.

This is because after about 2^16 iterations I'll have hit two values that are identical on the low 32 bits, and thus a 64 bit collision on the next iteration; but it would most likely be useless. Again, since I have a collision after 2^16 operations, it can not be usfull ! So the cycling method would need another

Basic Precision Control Question
I'm sorry if my posting was a bit vague. The COBOL application I'm writing will call routines in a shared library written in C. One of the parameters passed from the COBOL application to the C shared library is an array of addresses. Those addresses will be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on platform. Another routine in

A question from a total neophyte
you can't store it under the System32 directory, because that's only for 64-bit DLLs (are you lost yet? I nearly am, and I teach this...) So ultimately the question is, how did it get there if it's under the System32 directory? Note that a 32-bit installer program will *also* be magically redirected,

The real question is how well Intel's x86-64 chip can handle 64-bit pointers vs. 32-bit ones. Where you only very rarely want to use 64-bit integers,

another stupid pentium question
To extend the question, what happens if I use int32 or int64 in place of nativeint? No major differences. On a 32-bit processor, int64 requires one more memory word than the other two. And of course 64-bit arithmetic is slower than 32-bit arithmetic on a 32-bit processor. Actually, "nativeint" is isomorphic to

Its a 32-bit OK, you have answered my question about that. I wasn't sure if you needed to run a 64 bit OS on it or not.

64 bit times revisited..
In fact the program must run on a mixture of 32 bit and 64 bit architectures, and I don't want to assume integer*4. Portability would be easier in f95 where you could replace 2.0D0**32 - 1.0D0 by dble(huge(1)) Another problem: with many compilers the negative integer furthest from 0 is not -huge(1) but
