hi,
Because you're waiting for the very same hard disk that always worksi m reading and writing from the ramdisk.(using ram as a partition) not
at the very same slow speed.
using harddisk
so what can be difference?
Because you're waiting for the very same hard disk that always works
at the very same slow speed.
As per my little knowledge, Since in 32 bit machine (read/write)
process 32 bits of data in 1 clock cycle and in 64 bit
machine(read/wrie) process 64 bits of data in 1 clock cycle, there
should be a differnce in performance.( half the time). Am i correct??
If i want to utilize the power of 64 bit machine should i need to use
lots of 64 bit data type?
let say if my application uses only characters datatype will it make
any difference or not?
say example reading and writng strings with RAM?
Thanks for your reply,
SaranJothy.

hi ,
i have a 64 bit machine(processor and os) and i built a 32 bit
application on it.(using m32 gcc option).
I built a 64 application too.
When i run both applications one by one(basically reading and writing
1 GB file) i m not able to find any difference in performace,basically
time.
Why so?
Because you're waiting for the very same hard disk that always works

* what will be the difference un 32 bit application on 32 bit machine
or 32 application on 64 bit machine?
What's the difference between a I/O bound process, a memory-bus-bound
process or a CPU-bound process?
* i want to know how much performace diffference wil be made by 64 bt
machine?
Depends on the application, the size of the data you're processing,
with respect to the size of of RAM available and of L1, L2, and L3
cache, and of course, the speed of your hard disks. Basically, I
guess that 64-bit vs. 32-bit won't be really significant.
* for a 64 bit machine (processor) to act as a 32 bit machine, Do i
need to compile the kernel? if so how?Will making architecture as i386
alone will make it?
sorry for too many questions at one post.
Thanks in advance
