amd64

Does anyone know if it's possible to run python as a 32 bit app on AMD64's? One
of our host providers AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and we are currently using a celeron
which is real slow. The problem is that this machine would be a backup for
another which is 32 pentium 4.

If I have to recompile/debug all the extensions etc etc for another architecture
it might not seem so attractive.

Running just fine on my AMD64 processor on this machine...

I'm pretty sure AMD worked pretty hard for their AMD64's to run 32-bit
apps - by contrast with Intel's previous 64-bit offerings which would not.
But in this mode, you don't get 64-bits of "roominess" , it looks just like a
32-bit CPU.

Most 64 bit processors can run 32 bit apps natively, so the short
answer would be yes.

if the install is 64 bit, you will hit trouble
i used the guide here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/356
on my 64 bit debian system to get 32bit apps available
if they have a particular distro install, usually the package
management tools for it can add most python modules you will need

hope that helps, add more details if you want more help

Hi guys, We have a problem with Dual AMD64 Opteron/MySQL 4.0.18/Mandrake 10 for a very high volume site. We are evaluating the performance on our new server AMD64 and it seems it's slow compared to Dual Xeon/MySQL 4.0.15/RedHat8 and Dual Xeon/MySQL 4.0.18/Mandrake 10. And it seems there are zombie threads. 570 threads in 1 hour and we didn't even use JDBC connection pooling at all. These threads are supposed to be gone within 60...

Hi, I don't understand why DELL is unwilling to sell AMD64 products. Steve Felice, VP @ DELl says their is no customers demand for AMD64. Suck to be Steve. From various Linux flavors to BSD, the OS rocks on AMD64 macs. I have seen conformance test suite benhcmarks which are better on AMD64 than on f**ing Itanium. I feel this is a ridiculous policy @ DELL not to sell AMD products. Anyone in FTC listening ?

The version of dumpbin that ships with VC8 will disassemble x86 code. Is there a version of dumpbin that ships with VC8 that is able to disassemble AMD64 object code? Or is there some other solution. I have compiled both x86 and x64 versions of a binary using VC8 and I need to see, in both cases, whether the resulting object code is what I expected. Regards, George.

Hi all I have a tricky situation that's preventing my Python/SWIG/C application from running on the Debian Etch AMD64 platform. It seems that the 'dl' module is not available on that platform. The only reason I need the 'dl' module, however, is for the values of RTLD_LAZY etc, which I use with sys.setdlopenflags() in order to make my imported SWIG module share its symbols correctly with more deeply- nested plugin modiles in my C-code...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
