| | 32-bit application - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In computer architecture, 32-bit is an adjective used to describe integers, memory addresses or other data units that are at most 32 bits (4 octets) wide, or to describe CPU and ALU architectures based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. | | | The shift from 16-bit software to 32-bit software on IBM compatible systems became possible with the introduction of the '386 microprocessor. | | | The term 32-bit application came about because DOS and Microsoft Windows were originally written for the Intel 8088 and Intel 80286 microprocessors. |

| | binary digit - a Whatis.com definition - see also: bit |
| | A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in a computer. | | | Although computers usually provide instructions that can test and manipulate bits, they generally are designed to store data and execute instructions in bit multiples called bytes. | | | A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1. |

| | What is bit? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | For example, classifying a computer as a 32-bit machine might mean that its data registers are 32 bits wide or that it uses 32 bits to identify each address in memory. | | | For example, a byte is composed of 8 consecutive bits. | | | This is Chapter 1 of Randall Hyde's book, "Art of Assembly Language." It describes the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems, binary data organization (bits, nibbles, bytes, words, and double words), signed and unsigned numbering systems, arithmetic, logical, shift, and rotate operations on binary values, bit fields and packed data, and the ASCII character set. |

| | How to make use of a 16 bit division routine for 32 bit division |
| | The idea is simple: you do 16 bit division as usually, but when the dividend is 32 bit, the lower two bytes are used as dividend and the higher two bytes are used as initial value for remainder (which is zero when doing 16 bit division) | | | For example, it is possible to divide 16 or 32 bit dividend by 16 bit divisor to 16 bit quotient in just one routine. | | | That means that the first 16 iterations through steps 1-5 produce 16 zero bits in quotient (because we know that higher 2 bytes of quotient are zero in that case), x was shifted 16 times to remainder, remainder was never subtracted from. |

| | The MIPS32 architecture derives the privileged mode exception handling and memory management functions from the popular R4000 and R5000 class 64-bit processors. | | | Availability of 32 general-purpose registers enables compilers to further optimize code generation by keeping frequently accessed data in registers. | | | Arithmetic and logic operations use a three-operand format, allowing compilers to optimize complex expressions formulation. |

| | Howstuffworks "How Bits and Bytes Work" |
| | You might hear an advertisement that says, "This computer has a 32-bit Pentium processor with 64 megabytes of RAM and 2.1 gigabytes of hard disk space." And many HowStuffWorks articles talk about bytes (for example, How CDs Work). | | | In this article, we will discuss bits and bytes so that you have a complete understanding. | | | Both RAM and hard disk capacities are measured in bytes, as are file sizes when you examine them in a file viewer. |

| | 32-Bit Computing - What's It All About? |
| | All other things being equal, the more bits your computer can process at the same time, the faster it is. Most desktop computers manipulate bits in groups of 16 or 32. | | | If you have two computers whose clock (processing) speed is identical, and one processes 32 bits at a time while the other processes 16, the 32-bit computer will be about twice as fast. | | | A binary digit, or bit, is the smallest unit of data that a computer can process. |

| | SPECIAL REPORT: 32-bit Windows |
| | The basic low-level tools, such as compilers and debuggers, have been available for several years; however, the vast majority of higher level development tools have been slower to migrate to 32-bit computing. | | | That isn't to say it's a world without its own distinct advantages and enticements: 32-bit computing promises to finally put an end to the long-standing limitations of having DOS underlying Windows. | | | To rewrite their applications to take advantage of all these 32-bit attractions, software developers need application development tools that support the Win 32 API. |

| | 32-bit and 64-bit application development with DB2 UDB V8.2 |
| | For example, a 32-bit computer has data registers that are 32 bits wide and uses 32 bits to identify each address in memory. | | | When an application initially written for a 32-bit platform is rebuilt as a 64-bit application, the possibly different sizes of various data types may result in incorrect functionality. | | | When you deploy an application from a source computer to another target computer, it is important to consider what the run-time library path specification is on the target computer, since any relative paths you used when linking the library on the source computer may be invalid on the target computer. |

| | WOWing Your 32-Bit Applications with 64-Bit Windows, Part 2 |
| | However, it is possible for 64-bit applications to launch 32-bit processes, and vice-versa, and to share handles to named objects (such as semaphores and file handles) and to individual windows. | | | This allows a 32-bit application to see a system image and resources that make it believe that it's running on a standard 32-bit version of Windows; obviously a 32-bit app wouldn't understand the hardware changes in a 64-bit system. | | | If you're writing a 64-bit application that needs to be aware of what's going on with the 32-bit infrastructure, Microsoft has provided some special functions that can assist you. |

| | The software code is expected to allow 32-bit applications running on Itanium 2 to have performance on par with an Intel 32-bit Xeon 1.5-GHz MP processor, he said. | | | The new 64-bit chip will include an execution software layer that will be ready in the second half of the year as part of a "natural evolution for 32-bit support on Itanium," said Intel spokesman Scott McLaughlin. | | | In addition to running 64-bit applications, users of the new Opteron CPUs will be able to run older 32-bit applications at speeds comparable to their performance on older x86 32-bit hardware or faster, according to the company. |

| | PCWorld.com - Microsoft Boosts 32-Bit Performance |
| | Intel and Microsoft on Tuesday released software designed to improve the performance of Windows applications designed for 32-bit processors when they are running on Intel's 64-bit Itanium 2 processors. | | | This means that, for example, an Itanium system that scored a SPECint base benchmark of 1300 running a 64-bit version of the benchmark software would score approximately 700 running a 32-bit version with the IA-32 EL software. | | | While Intel's rival, Advanced Micro Devices, has made much of the 32-bit performance of its 64-bit Opteron processors, Fister says that breadth of the Itanium product line, and not 32-bit performance, would be the key to Itanium's success. |
