Trying to move my development environment to Linux. And new to Curl. Can't get it to install the IDE & RTE packages on an AMD HP PC running Ubuntu x64. I tried to install the Debian package via the package installer and get "Error: Wrong architecture - i386". Tried using the --force-architecture switch but it errors out. I'm assuming ...
We have a graphics intensive application that seems to be experiencing problems on AMD 64 bit Dual Core platforms that are not apparent on Intel platforms. Running the application causes the CPU to run at 100%, in particular when using code for shadows and lighting (Open GL). Does anyone know of specific issues with AMD processors that...
I am looking to purchase a new development PC. My budget is not more than $1,000 USD (including monitor). I am open to laptop (desktop replacement type) or the traditional desktop PC would do just fine. My primary development environment will be Microsoft, Visual Studio 2008 (and support of older Visual Studio 6 code as well). SQL Se...
I'm using GetNativeSystemInfo to attempt to detect the real processor type my executable is running on, so that we can properly install support libraries for that processor. The problem I'm having is that on an AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core 2.50 GHz processor (an x64 processor) running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Service Pack 1, wProcessorArc...
I've seen that a Processor Pack is available for Visual Studio 6, however it appears to only be available for users with SP5 and I am already using SP6: In addition, the Visual C++ Processor Pack (VCPP) was removed from Service Pack 6. If you have the VCPP installed, installing SP6 will remove it from your machine. If you wish to contin...
We're getting new servers. Trying to figure out the AMD vs Intel holy war. Is there anywhere to find unbiased performance comparisons of these two processor families? Should I quit worrying about this and file it into the "it doesn't matter" category. ...
If I target the x86 platform for my .NET app, will it run properly on AMD chips? I know that it will work with Intel chips, and that Vista 64 has the ability to run x86 apps in a special mode, but I don't know how much of that is hardware and how much of that is the OS. I've tested it on Vista 64 with an Intel chip and it works perfect...
I'm currently learning the APIs related to Intel's parallelization libraries such as TBB, MKL and IPP. I was wondering, though, whether it's also worth looking at AMD's part of the puzzle. Or would that just be a waste of time? (I must confess, I have no clue about AMD's library support - at all - so would appreciate any advice you might...
We've always been an Intel shop. All the developers use Intel machines, recommended platform for end users is Intel, and if end users want to run on AMD it's their lookout. Maybe the test department had an AMD machine somewhere to check we didn't ship anything completely broken, but that was about it. Up until a few of years ago we ju...
I'm going though a computers system course and I'm trying to establish, for sure, if my AMD based computer is a little endian machine? I believe it is because it would be Intel-compatible. Specifically, my processor is an AMD 64 Athlon x2. I understand that this can matter in C programming. I'm writing C programs and a method I'm usin...
I am planning to develop a game for all of the mobile platform and have pretty much zeroed down on the concepts of the game. but the only issue I'm facing as of now is that I have no idea what would be the best libraries + 3d Engine to us to achieve the best results on the hardware on some of the upcoming mobiles. I'm talking about the i...
I'm out of the loop with respect to the specific differences between the various Intel and AMD processors. For example, what's the difference between Core 2, i5, and i7? What are the comparable AMD processors? I'm talking basic system architecture here, not minute differences. Thanks! ...
I made the observation that my java application is running much faster when executed on an AMD processor in contrast to an Intel CPU. For example my JBoss starts in about 30 seconds on a 3 GHz AMD processor and needs about 60 seconds on a 3 GHz Intel processor with identical disc, RAM and OS? Has anyone else made this observation? Why ...
Does anybody have experience programming for both the Intel Math Kernel Library and the AMD Math Core Library? I'm building a personal computer for high performance statistical computations and am debating on the components to buy. An appeal of the AMD Math Core library is that it is free, but I am in academia so the MKL is not that ex...
I am trying to find out what an x86 processor does when it encounters a store conditional instruction. For instance does it stall the front end of the pipeline and wait for the ROB buffer to become empty before it stops stalling the front end and execute the SC? Basically does it force the processor to become non speculative... Thanks ...
I have a Windows application made in Visual C++. It runs well on an Intel Proccesor but it crashes on another system with an AMD processor (both systems have Windows XP installed). Any suggetions? ...
is there a way to programatically disable the hardware prefetcher on an AMD system like you can in an Intel system as discussed in this topic Specifically for the AMD Opteron Barcelona or Istanbul architecture. ...
Let's say you have a single (1) Intel/AMD x86-64 bit 2 GHz 8 core processor. Does each of the 8 cores all run at the full 2 GHz or, does each core run at some fraction of the full 2 GHz clock (e.g. 250 MHz)? ...
Hello, I have a PC with AMD FX CPU (Do not remember if it was FX51 or FX60) it is 64Bit does it means that I can run 64Bit Guests? even if it does not have the Visualization extensions in the CPU? ...
Right now I plan to test on 32-bit, 64-bit, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Home Basic, and Windows 7 Ultimate ... all with the latest service pack. However, now I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to test on both AMD and Intel for all the listed scenarios above or would it be a...
