What is the size of the accumulator register of 64 bit processor?

64 bit. the size of accumulator will always equal to the size of processor. e.g 32 bit processor has 32 bit accumulator.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Actually on some computers the accumulator(s) are larger than the processor word size. Some examples are:IBM 704, IBM 709, IBM 7090, IBM 7094 - these are 36 bit processors with a 38 bit accumulatorIBM 7030 - this is a 64 bit processor with a 128 bit accumulatorSome computers do not have accumulator(s), these fall into three main groups:Variable word length machines that store all data in main memoryGeneral purpose register machinesStack machines that either have a fixed sized internal stack or a variable sized stack stored in main memory


Address bus width?

Varies from machine to machine:many early machines had address busses only 12 to 18 bits wideearly microprocessors has address busses 10 to 14 bits wide16 bit address busses were common on microprocessors in the early 1980sthe 8086 had a 20 bit address bus and the 68000 a 24 bit address busmost modern computers have 32 bit address busses with high-end ones having as many as 64 bit address busses


What is the advantage of 64 bit over 32 bit operating systems?

The main advantage of a 64 bit operating system is that it can make use of all the features and performance of a modern 64 bit microprocessor. If you run a 32 bit operating system on a modern 64 bit microprocessor the operating system will not be able to make use of any 64 bit features of the microprocessor and the performance will not be what the microprocessor is capable of.However a 64 bit operating system WILL NOT run at all on a 32 bit microprocessor (or one with a smaller word size) as the microprocessor does not implement the 64 bit features needed for the operating system to work.Note: in the not too distant future microprocessor manufacturers will release 128 bit microprocessors, which will require 128 bit operating systems to use all the features and performance of these microprocessors.

How many bits are required to encode all 26 letters of English alphabets?

Five. 5 bits gives 32 combinations. Early computers and telex machines used a five bit paper tape code. You use all blank (0) as tape leader and the other non-letter combinations for CR, LF, space, number shift and letter shift.

When will 32 bit os computers be outdated?

soon. Many people have 64 bit processors, but not all. Theres loads of software/hard drivers which is still 32 bit, and some people choose 32 bit even if they have a 64 bit processor because it might be an older PC. When enough people have good computers, 32 bit OS and programs/drivers will outdate and not exist at all.


What is the difference between 32- bit drivers and 16 -bit drivers?

32 bit drivers are designed for 32 bit computers. 16 bit drivers are designed for 16 bit computers. Most modern computers are either 32 or 64 bit.

What is the difference between SQL Server 32-bit and SQL Server 64-bit application and how do you know whether a computer is 32-bit or 64-bit?

64 bit computers process data in larger chunks than 32 bit computers. This means a number of things, but the big 2 are: 1) When programs are written to support 64-bit processors, those programs will generally perform faster than on a 32-bit processor of the same speed. This is partially because 32-bit computers must handle 64-bit numbers in two steps, whereas 64-bit computers only need to use one step. 2) 64-bit processors can address more memory than 32-bit processors. This means your server can have more RAM, and therefore can store more data in memory, making memory-intensive programs like databases faster.
