Each byte of memory in a computer must have a unique address so that applications can keep track of and identify the memory. On bit machines, memory addresses are 32 bits in length and stored as base-2 numbers. The base-2, or "binary," number system expresses integer values as combinations of two digits: 0 and 1. There are approximately 4 billion possible different bit binary numbers 2 32 , which accounts for the 4 GB memory address space limit on machines with a bit processor.
By contrast, a bit processor can theoretically address up to 16 exabytes EB 2 64 bytes of memory, giving access therefore to practically unlimited memory. This eliminates the performance penalty associated with swapping portions of the data in and out to disk. For example, the increased memory space available on a bit platform enables large databases to be preloaded into memory, improving data access times for database client applications.
Because more database operations can run at memory speed rather than disk speed, bit machines enable databases to scale to support more users. On bit systems, memory management extensions exist that enable applications to use more than 4 GB of memory. So, for example, the memory is not available to other memory consuming database operations such as caching query plans, sorting, indexing, joins, or for storing user connection information.
By contrast, bit machines make memory available to all database processes and operations. These applications usually perform optimally by holding large amounts of data in memory. Graphics programs will also see performance improvements as they, too, often deal with large amounts of data, especially when rendering 3-D imagery. In addition, some types of data processing work more efficiently in a bit environment, such as encryption.
Most encryption algorithms are based on very large integers—the larger the integers, the more secure the encryption. Encryption applications can take advantage of bit integers and gain a consequent performance boost on bit systems. For applications that do not need to address memory beyond the bit processor limit of 4 GB, bit machines still provide substantial benefits in terms of processing speed. With a bit processor, each general-purpose register is bits wide and can represent a much larger integer.
A register is high-speed memory within a processor that provides the fastest way for a processor to access data. A general-purpose register is available for any use rather than being reserved for a specific purpose by the processor or operating system. The register-width difference produces a substantial reduction in resource requirements when performing bit mathematics.
Mathematical operations on bit numbers consume fewer registers and require fewer processor instructions on a bit machine than on a bit machine. Improvements in parallel processing and bus architectures, enable bit machines to support a larger number of processors up to An increased capacity for processor support means that a single machine has the potential to support more processes, applications, and users.
A file descriptor is an integer used to identify an open file for the purpose of file access. This limit is present because Solaris machines use a char type to represent the file descriptors, which can only hold a range values of 0— The limit is not applicable to bit applications, which can use up to 2 billion descriptors.
There are several bit Unix and Linux Platforms, and these based around different bit processors. To execute correctly, each application requires a number of libraries. However, the file names for the bit and bit versions of these libraries are identical. They must be differentiated from each other in another way. The most common approach is to use separate directories for bit and bit libraries, although the naming convention used for the directory structure differs from system to system.
Using lib for bit libraries enables bit programs to work on bit machines without any changes. The file name is the same for both bit and bit versions. They are separated by their location. However, although these operating systems preserve the existing bit library directory structure, they use a proprietary naming convention for the bit library directory. IA EL replaces the less efficient, hardware-based bit support of the original Itanium processor.
On AIX systems, most system libraries are hybrid mode archives—a single library archive file that contains both bit and bit versions of its member objects.
The name of the bit object remains unchanged. The following command illustrates this naming convention. It lists both bit and bit object modules contained in the standard C library, libc. WOW64 emulates the bit Windows Operating System to allow bit applications to run without modification. To enable bit applications to transparently access the WOW64 system directory, the WOW64 layer provides a file system redirector. IA EL translates processor instructions between the bit and bit instruction sets and cooperates with the WOW64 subsystem to run bit applications.
Starting with version Version Other system frameworks, libraries and plug-ins are bit only. Any application that links with a GUI library is bit on version Cocoa is object-oriented application programming interface API , which provides an integrated set of shared object libraries, a runtime system and a development environment.
Carbon, a collection of C programming interfaces, is not supported for bit applications. Two bit GUI applications shipped with version All other GUI applications were bit. On Mac OS X, a "bit capable" application is one that can be opened in bit mode as well as bit mode. If the application is bit capable, an Open in bit mode option will be present.
If Open in bit mode is not present, the application is not bit capable and can only run in bit mode. On an Intel 64 Macintosh computer, running this command in a Terminal window lists the programs on the computer that can run in bit mode:. The package file for a bit capable application, contains two versions of the application: a bit and a bit version.
To do this, the universal binary format is used, which is the same file format that enables a PowerPC and Intel version of an application to be embedded in single application package. If an application is run in bit mode, all supporting binaries needed to run the application, including frameworks, libraries, and plug-ins, must be bit capable.
If an application is run in bit mode, all supporting binaries must be bit. Mac OS X allows a bit kernel to run bit applications. The main advantage of booting into a bit kernel is the ability to use more that 32 gigabytes GB of RAM. When booted into a bit kernel, Mac OS X is in "bit mode".
