Sentence examples similar to bit applications from inspiring English sources

Advanced Micro says this means that existing 32-bit applications will run on the chip without modification and that writing 64-bit versions of those applications will be a more straightforward process than it is on the Intel product.

By contrast, Hector Ruiz, AMD's chief operating officer and heir-apparent to Mr Sanders, claims that his chip beats Itanium by running 32-bit applications without such software trickery, thanks to a more modern design.

The main reason that Intel has taken so long to develop Itanium is that it seems to perform badly when running "legacy" 32-bit applications, which will be the vast majority of programs for years to come.

The last time AMD grabbed the upper hand was in 2003, when the chip maker introduced the Opteron, a processor able to flip between running whizzy 64-bit applications and older 32-bit applications almost seamlessly.

The cores are ARMv8 compatible which means they are backwards-compatible with 32-bit applications.

AMD's 64-bit approach includes the older 32-bit code so that existing applications can run on it without many changes and also runs 64-bit applications.

It's great for learning or building 32-bit applications and it's small enough to fit inside almost anything.

This gives a total performance of 208 Gflops for Wilson and 133 Gflops for staggered QCD, respectively (for 64-bit applications the performance is approximately halved).

Firstly, most of the models in this field are compiled as 32-bit applications and this limits the addressable memory and constrains the size of the computational domain.

"The net result is that by the end of 2003, AMD will have shipped millions of 64-bit systems, most of which will be running 32-bit applications," Brookwood says.

64-bit applications became available on the App Store with the launch of Apple's A7 processor on the iPhone 5S in September 2013.
