Voila la partie intéressante de l'article de la page : http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1591&p=4 The first system was a ClawHammer running 32-bit Windows XP, straight from the box with no modifications. For those of you wondering what OS you'll need to have in order to run the Hammer processors, your current 32-bit OS will work just fine. Granted that with a 32-bit OS you don't get any of the benefits of the x86-64 architecture, one of which happens to be the additional registers made available in x86-64 mode, but it will work. The Windows XP ClawHammer system was running Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel test scripts nonstop without a hitch. The next system was an identical ClawHammer system running a 64-bit Linux port. This setup was a bit more interesting; the demo consisted of two windows each with a a ball bouncing inside the window. The window on the left was running a 32-bit version of the ball-bouncing demo, while the window on the right was running an x86-64 compiled version of the same demo at the same time. This was a simple demo used to show that working with 32-bit and 64-bit recompiled applications concurrently was possible on such early hardware and it worked just fine. This system had apparently been up for the past 24 hours without a single crash, granted it was only bouncing balls all day but that's still an accomplishment for 30-day old silicon. Malgré le fait que la version Linux soit capable de tourner en 32 & 64 bits en même temps avec des applications X11, alors que W* nétait pas capable de tourner autre chose que Word et Excel (sans doute l'image de la "complexité" dans le monde W*) le journaliste a le culot d'écrire : "... what's necessary is a version of Visual Studio with support for x86-64 so that the majority of application developers simply have to use a switch in order to produce x86-64 binaries in their current development environment." Et gcc... c'est pour les boeufs ? Comme quoi, malgré une demo où il n'y a pas photo, on voit que le chemin de la reconnaissance de LInux est encore long :-( Daniel "Au royaume des aveugles, les borgnes sont rois" -- http://www-internal.alphanet.ch/linux-leman/ avant de poser une question. Ouais, pour se désabonner aussi.
