  2. x32 ABI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI

    A presentation at the Linux Plumbers Conference on September 7, 2011, covered the x32 ABI. [2] The x32 ABI was merged into the Linux kernel for the 3.4 release with support being added to the GNU C Library in version 2.16. [14] In December 2018 there was discussion as to whether to deprecate the x32 ABI, which has not happened as of April 2023 ...

  3. Byte addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_addressing

    Their 32-bit linear addresses can address 4 billion different items. Using word addressing, a 32-bit processor could address 4 Gigawords; or 16 Gigabytes using the modern 8-bit byte. If the 386 and its successors had used word addressing, scientists, engineers, and gamers could all have run programs that were 4x larger on 32-bit machines.

  4. Memory address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address

    For instance, a computer said to be "32-bit" also usually allows 32-bit memory addresses; a byte-addressable 32-bit computer can address 2 32 = 4,294,967,296 bytes of memory, or 4 gibibytes (GiB). This allows one memory address to be efficiently stored in one word.

  5. IA-32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32

    The primary defining characteristic of IA-32 is the availability of 32-bit general-purpose processor registers (for example, EAX and EBX), 32-bit integer arithmetic and logical operations, 32-bit offsets within a segment in protected mode, and the translation of segmented addresses to 32-bit linear addresses. The designers took the opportunity ...

  6. ModR/M - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ModR/M

    The SIB byte is an optional post-opcode byte in x86 assembly on the i386 and later, used for complex addressing. If present, it appears immediately after the ModR/M byte, before any displacements. If present, it appears immediately after the ModR/M byte, before any displacements.

  7. z/Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z/Architecture

    The address as seen by application programs. It is an offset into an address space and is subject to address translation via page and segment tables. Real address The address after address translation, or the address seen by an OS component running with translation off. It is subject to prefixing. Absolute address

  8. Word addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_addressing

    Suppose that, if all the addresses in the program were 32-bit, this web page would occupy about 10 Gigabytes of memory. If the web browser is running on a computer with 32-bit addresses and byte-addressable memory, the address space will cover 4 Gigabytes of memory, which is insufficient.

  9. x86 instruction listings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    These instructions are also available in 32-bit mode, in which they operate on 32-bit registers (eax, ebx, etc.) and values instead of their 16-bit (ax, bx, etc.) counterparts. The updated instruction set is grouped according to architecture ( i186 , i286 , i386 , i486 , i586 / i686 ) and is referred to as (32-bit) x86 and (64-bit) x86-64 (also ...
