64 bits processing apps ?
Jul 16th, 2009, 11:38am  
Hello, ive read its necessary to port 32 bits apps to 64 in order to to take advantage of 64 bits processors. What does it means? is it possible to create 64 bits apps in processing? if so , how?


thanks

Hi,

this does not make much sense in processing/java as the program in actually running within the JVM. on mac you can select which virtual machine version you want to use (mix of 1.4, 1.5 1.6 and 32 or 64 bits) in the java control panel.

anyhow there is no "porting to 64bits" in java at all. your code is compiled 1st as java byte code. it's then the JVM, at run time, that compile the byte code on the fly to machine code.

so same code can run on 32 or 64bits JVM/operating system.
