| The
64-Bit InfoCAD program version is available for
users dealing with very large systems of equations or data
volumes. The memory limitations that exist with 32-bit
computer systems are eliminated through the use of the
64-bit address space. The only factors limiting usable
memory size are the available hard drive capacity and the
acceptable calculation time.
The message box of the computational program
shown indicates the system parameters of this structure.
The system of equations with a size of 9.6 gigabytes could
not be solved in this form using a 32-bit computer system.
However, the 64-bit edition can easily handle a project of
this size. |
| The address space is limited to 4 gigabytes (GB)
for 32-bit computer systems. Of those, 2 GB are
reserved for the operating system. The other 2 GB
are available for applications. The amount of memory
space that is actually available for calculations is
reduced further by applications that are loaded by
the operating system. For 64-bit systems the
address space is limited to 16 terabytes (TB). Of
those, 8 TB are reserved for the operating system.
The remaining 8 TB are available for applications. |
