MICROSOFT READIES 64-BIT WINDOWS

摘要

It's safe to say that Robert Penning-ton is happy with Intel's new 64-bit Itanium processor. As associate director of computing and communications at the National Center for Su-percomputing Applications, he's responsible for all the production supercomputing systems, including several new Itanium clusters. "We've been able to port 32-bit Windows applications to Itanium by recompiling them, and the performance is outstanding," Pennington says.
