64-bit Technology News

A standards organization has created a boot environment for tablets and PCs that could potentially run a 64-bit version of Windows RT.

In this video we will install VMware vSphere vCenter Server 5.1.0b using the Simple Install method on Windows Server 2003 R2 X64 SP2

Big thank you to all who've sent in Imogen plugins, they're excellent, Keep em' coming folks! This tutorial we'll look at some of the 256 bit SIMD, AVX instructions briefly then code the negate algorithm from last tute using them.

In this tute we'll look at coding a C++ algorithm to negate a 128bpp image. This will be a benchmark to beat for the ASM versions we'll code next. Most of this tutorial is about interacting with .Net 4.5 from native code.

A DECADE AGO AMD released the first Opteron processor and with it the first 64-bit x86 processor. AMD's lavish New York launch for the Opteron processor was far more than a product launch, it was AMD showing it could reproduce the success of the Athlon K7 chip and take the fight to Intel by developing ground breaking new features and not just one-upping its rival on some benchmarks. The firm's Opteron processor brought 64-bit computing to the commodity x86 chip market, along with an on-die memory controller and the Hypertransport bus all in one product.

One of the key decisions during a XenDesktop design is whether to use the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) version of the Windows desktop operating system. I’ve seen a few projects falter because they’ve opted for the 64-bit version without really thinking this decision through and I want to make sure that this doesn’t happen to you.

ARM Holdings (ARMH) director of marketing Ian Thornton was in town today and was kind enough to stop by the Barron’s offices. We talked a bit about one of the next substantial frontiers for the company and its partners, 64-bit memory addressing, which is most likely to show up in server and equipment products, although Thornton also had some thoughts on 64-bit in mobile devices, which you can read in an earlier post.

Summary: Cavium releases the SDK for 64-bit Project Thunder - Integrated semiconductor provider Cavium, who announced back in August 2012 that they would be applying their significant experience in the multi-core MIPS and ARM embedded processor market to the next generation general purpose 64-bit ARM processor, yesterday announced the next step in their Project Thunder 64-bit ARM effort; the availability of the Project Thunder Software Development Platform kit

A short video showing how to import a virtual machine/appliance in virtual box. Also shows what the errors you receive if virtualization is not enabled in your computers bios

Since the world likes open standards, which anyone can use and build upon without fear of reprisals or need for licensing fees, Dell decided to attend the Open Compute Summit in Santa Clara, California. Advanced Micro Devices and Intel both tried to steal the show, with their Open 3.0 and Silicon Photonics technologies.

The time has come - there is ARM 64-bit architecture right behind a corner. In this talk I will present how OpenEmbedded was used to build root file system for fast models simulating not-yet-existing hardware. Presentation is targeted at developers interested in cross compilation, handling new architectures in existing projects.

People asked for it, so here it is. My sort of review on Windows Server...

This is a question I have faced several times during my career in enterprise software development. Every once in awhile I’ve had to hand out recommendations for configuring a specific new environment. And more often than not, part of the question at hand was related to “Should I use a 32- or a 64-bit JVM”. To be honest, in the beginning I just flipped the coin. Instead of giving a reasoned answer. (Sorry, bros!) But by now I have gathered some more insight on this and thought to share it with you.

The inserting and extracting instructions are mostly from SSE 4.1 (the PINSRW and PEXTRW are from SSE2). They can move any element from an SSE register to an x86 register (extract) or move an x86 register's value to any element in an SSE register.
