  2. 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.

  3. 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. However, this does not always hold true.

  4. Word addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_addressing

    The Cray X1 uses byte addressing with 64-bit addresses. It does not directly support memory accesses smaller than 64 bits, and such accesses must be emulated in software. The C compiler for the X1 was the first Cray compiler to support emulating 16-bit accesses. [1] The DEC Alpha uses byte addressing with 64-bit addresses. Early Alpha ...

  5. 32-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing

    A 32-bit register can store 2 32 different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits depends on the integer representation used. With the two most common representations, the range is 0 through 4,294,967,295 (2 32 − 1) for representation as an binary number, and −2,147,483,648 (−2 31) through 2,147,483,647 (2 31 − 1) for representation as two's complement.

  6. Word (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

    Alternatively many word-oriented machines implement byte operations with instructions using special byte pointers in registers or memory. For example, the PDP-10 byte pointer contained the size of the byte in bits (allowing different-sized bytes to be accessed), the bit position of the byte within the word, and the word address of the data ...

  7. Intel HEX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HEX

    The byte count is always 04, the address field is 0000 and the first two data bytes are the CS value, the latter two are the IP value. The execution should start at this address. : 04 0000 03 00003800 C1: 04: Extended Linear Address Allows for 32 bit addressing (up to 4 GiB). The byte count is always 02 and the address field is ignored ...

  8. x86 memory segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_memory_segmentation

    Such address translations are carried out by the segmentation unit of the CPU. The last segment, FFFFh (65535), begins at linear address FFFF0h (1048560), 16 bytes before the end of the 20 bit address space, and thus, can access, with an offset of up to 65,536 bytes, up to 65,520 (65536−16) bytes past the end of the 20 bit 8088 address space.

  9. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    The size of the "byte offset" from the address being translated is still 12 bits, so total physical address size increases from 32 bits to 36 bits (i.e. from 20+12 to 24+12). This increased the physical memory that is theoretically addressable by the CPU from 4 GB to 64 GB.
