>>> Has anyone run benchmarks on an identical system with 32 bit vrs 64 bit? >>> >>> Here is a benchmark of 32 bit vs 64 bit openSuSE 10.3 on a Core 2 Duo system.
I have both 32 bit and 64 bit versions installed in separate partitions on the same system with all updates applied. I ran my computationally intensive code GEMACS (http://www.gemacs.com) compiled natively for both 32 and 64 bits with the Intel 9.1 compilers. The code performs little I/O and zero graphics. The code is multi-threaded and fairly well balanced, hence, the total CPU numbers are about 2X the elapsed time numbers. 64 bit: Elapsed time: 59.316 sec Total CPU time: 112.43 sec 32 bit: Elapsed time: 59.749 sec Total CPU time: 105.67 sec I would be glad to run other comparisons if anyone would like them.
