Preparing for Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology
Overview The recent introduction of Intel’s new Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) marked a major milestone in the evolution of enterprise and workstation technology. The move from 32-bit Intel architecture (IA-32) to 64 bits actually squared available memory, theoretically providing the capability to name each grain in a cubic mile of sand. This article examines 32-bit, x86-based workstation and server applications whose performance could be improved by implementing EM64T. Also discussed are specific application scenarios in which the 64-bit Intel® Itanium™ architecture could provide better performance than x86-based Intel systems running EM64T.
