      Originally, 8-bit 16-bit referred to the width of the data units (natively supported data type, data bus & registers) which often had different widths for the range of their addressable memory space (16, 20, 24 bits).
      Funny later on, processors got more & more fancier data units (32-bit, 64-bit, 80-bit, 96-bit data types but also vectorized 128-bit, 256-bit & now 512-bit data types) but increasingly simpler & condensed addressable memory space (at least the logical or virtual memory space is overwhelmingly 32-bit or 64-bit on modern processors (while physical addressable memory still has awry different limits)) so some folks switched from categorizing their processors from data units to the size of addressable virtual memory space for conveniance.

There are two triodes in the tube, each used as NOT gates. Additional circuitry can be used to create a Flip-Flop, which is a sort of flipable bit or bi-stable gate..

    Vaccuum tubes are not 'switches' except when being operated in saturation mode. Most are used in 'linear' mode where the grid voltage modulates the flow from the Cathode to the Anode, and can have amplification in the signal. Many tubes had only a single 'triode' in them, but dual 'triodes' were added for compactness and utility.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 5 років тому +1

      The Unix time stamp is defined as a number of seconds since midnight on January 1st 1970 in the time zone of the UK, ignoring leap seconds, and assuming every day has exactly 86400 seconds. This is why you end up with date stamps in 1969, because the date somehow got stored as zero by mistake, and if your time zone is in the USA, 1/1/1970 at midnight in the UK, happened on 12/31/1969 (for me, it would happen at 7 pm on that day). Your computer translates the Unix time stamp according to your time zone and the history of leap seconds, in order to put it in a form that makes sense to you. So late December back in 69 is when Unix says it is the start of time.
      In the 2038, there will be another equivalent Y2K event, where 32-bit Unix times stamp runs out of capacity to store the time. It will occur on January 19th at 03:14:07 AM UTC in 2038. It will be 2^32 seconds since the time stamp began. 32-bit systems will think it is the 1970's again. If you have 64 bit capabilities, it will never run out of capacity to store the date and time stamp in any practical time scale for humanity, as it will be longer than the age of the universe thus far.

    if you want backwards compatibility with, let's say, 32-bit software on a 64-bit system, you need some sort of software backwards compatibility layer, like Rosetta for PPC applications in early Intel versions of OS X, that Apple has removed from macOS Catalina

    Few current 64 bit processors actually have a physical 64 bit address bus, and can't address the max possible amount of memory possible for a 64 bit machine. The addressing registers may actually hold 64 bits, and such large address values may actually be used to support virtual memory (where the bulk of the actual data is held in disk storage rather than in physical memory). Also it's currently impossible to actually equip a computer with 2e64 bytes of memory (never mind what that would cost!).

    • @bryceforsyth8521
      @bryceforsyth8521 5 років тому +1

      @@Naverdo The registers will store larger values in a 64 bit system than a 32 bit system, so indeed more data per register, which in turn would allow larger values to be operated on immediately if the ALU is large enough to handle it. Look to the MC68000 which was a 32 bit processor (in a sense), but had a 16 bit ALU and external bus. If anything having a larger ALU would cause the 64 bit system to have a disadvantage when it comes to IPC (due to propogation delays and such, It would be more challenging to achieve an equivalent IPC), however for every arithmetic instruction executed more data is handled.
      If you look to modern processors, many have larger registers than their 32 or 64 bit labels would suggest. Such registers are operated on by internal coprocessing elements and [such registers] would be treated as sets of smaller registers by the CPU itself.

    There is also a distinction between word size and addressable memory. For more modern computers, they go hand-in-hand. A 32 bit processor can process 32 bits in a single clock cycle and also address 4GB of memory. 64 bit processors follow suit. But please realize that this was not always the case. The 6502 processor, for example, that was used in the Commodore 64 long ago was an 8-bit processor. But this didn't mean it could only address 256 bytes of memory. It had an 8-bit data bus but the address bus was 16 bits. With 16 bits, you can address 65536 bytes of memory without bank switching, or 64K, hence the name of the computer: Commodore 64. So the 6502 was an 8/16 bit processor in a sense. A true 16-bit processor would handle 16 bits at a time in computations as well (16-bit data bus).
    The Commodore 128 did NOT have a 17-bit address bus. When I first got one, I tried the basic command POKE 65536, 0 and it didn't work (to set the first byte of the second 64k of memory to 0). As a kid, it took me a while to realize IT USED THE SAME 8 BIT PROCESSOR (with 16 bit addressing). They simply doubled up on the RAM and added a DMA switch at the end of memory to toggle between the two banks of 64k that the processor sees.
