  2. 64-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing

    In 2003, 64-bit CPUs were introduced to the mainstream PC market in the form of x86-64 processors and the PowerPC G5 . A 64-bit register can hold any of 2 64 (over 18 quintillion or 1.8×10 19) different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 64 bits depends on the integer representation used.

  3. 32-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing

    v. t. e. In computer architecture, 32-bit computing refers to computer systems with a processor, memory, and other major system components that operate on data in 32- bit units. [1] [2] Compared to smaller bit widths, 32-bit computers can perform large calculations more efficiently and process more data per clock cycle.

    The 2-bit sequence "11" after the sign bit indicates that there is an implicit 3-bit prefix "100" to the significand. Compare having an implicit 1-bit prefix "1" in the significand of normal values for the binary formats. The 2-bit sequences "00", "01", or "10" after the sign bit are part of the exponent field.

  7. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating...

    Double-precision binary floating-point is a commonly used format on PCs, due to its wider range over single-precision floating point, in spite of its performance and bandwidth cost. It is commonly known simply as double. The IEEE 754 standard specifies a binary64 as having: Sign bit: 1 bit. Exponent: 11 bits.

  8. Mingw-w64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingw-w64

    Mingw-w64 can generate 32-bit and 64-bit executables for x86 under the target names i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32. History [ edit ] In 2005, Mingw-w64 was created by OneVision Software under cleanroom software engineering principles, since the original MinGW project was not prompt on updating its code base, including the inclusion of ...

  9. Long mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_mode

    In the x86-64 computer architecture, long mode is the mode where a 64-bit operating system can access 64-bit instructions and registers. 64-bit programs are run in a sub-mode called 64-bit mode, while 32-bit programs and 16-bit protected mode programs are executed in a sub-mode called compatibility mode. Real mode or virtual 8086 mode programs ...
