Abstract
The paper explains the principles of 64-bit computing on a desktop computer. Besides 64-bit hardware (microprocessors), 64-bit software (64-bit operating systems and 64-bit applications) is also described in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of transition to a 64-bit platform are analysed.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
