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
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.
AMD Athlon 64 FX Processors • The AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor is the world’s best PC processor.” -- AMD Inc.
AMD Athlon 64 FX Processor Key features: • AMD64 Technology • Hypertransport Technology • DDR Memory Controller • On-Die Cache • 3DNow!Technology
Performance Tests The performance of the processor is tested in three different computation areas. • Computer Gaming • Digital Media • Office Productivity
Conclusion • 64-bit computing is a necessary technology in the computer science areas which require larger memory and increased performance such as scientific computing, CAD/CAM, ERP/CRM solutions etc... • With new technologies improved, today AMD Athlon 64 FX – 55 processors have the best potential to fulfill 64-bit desktop computing needs.
