x86 architecture

Transmeta's processor was a very long instruction word (VLIW) super-scalar architecture that could emulate x86 code sequences.

Instead, Wine implements a set of APIs that permit execution of applications for the x86 architecture.

The EX5 servers take a step away from traditional x86 server architecture in which processors and memory are locked together.

In the x86 architecture with 32-bit CPU processors, a single 32-bit unsigned integer can be used to address up to 4 GB.

Here's where it gets complicated: Windows has always run on x86 architecture, used primarily in processors by Intel and AMD.

In this respect, it is similar to Solaris, which can run on their SPARC RISC architecture, as well as x86 machines.

To make matters more complicated, legacy Windows-based code was meant to be run on 16-bit or 32-bit x86 architecture.

Right now, Intel's X86 architecture owns the PC market, and ARM's architecture owns mobile computing.

Recall that the IA-32 (x86) architecture creates some issues when it comes to virtualization.

Apple's iPad and most smartphones use ARM architecture, which is traditionally less powerful but more energy-efficient than x86.

All examples are based on x86 hardware; other Linux architecture changes may require changes to both to the example code and the recipes.

For our plug-in we specify a 64-bit, x86 architecture for the virtual machines.

This allows, for example, a binary compiled for the MIPS architecture to be executed on Linux running on x86.

strExecutionEnvironment indicates the operating system and architecture of the execution environment (for example, "Windows XP[x86]" ).

The HZ value has been increased to 1000 for x86 architecture.

The binary filenames take the form qemu-system-arch, where arch is an architecture code, such as ppc for PowerPC or x86_64 for x86-64.

For example, Lguest virtualizes only other Lguest-enabled guest operating systems and currently only for the x86 architecture.

Architecture: x86 for most computers; x86-64 only for 64-bit operating systems
