64-bit computing more generally "multi-arch support". 64-bit computing In computer architecture, 64-bit computing is the use of processors that have datapath widths, integer size, and memory address widths of 64 bits (eight octets). Also, 64-bit computer architectures for central processing units (CPUs) and arithmetic logic units (ALUs) are those that are based on processor registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. From the software perspective, 64-bit computing means the use of code with 64-bit virtual memory addresses. However, not all 64-bit instruction sets support full 64-bit virtual memory addresses; x86-64 and ARMv8, for example, support only 48 bits of virtual
Stochastic computing can take the logical AND of the two streams. The probability of a one in the output stream is formula_5. By observing enough output bits and measuring the frequency of ones, it is possible to estimate formula_5 to arbitrary accuracy. The operation above converts a fairly complicated computation (multiplication of formula_3 and formula_4) into a series of very simple operations (evaluation of formula_9) on random bits. More generally speaking, stochastic computing represents numbers as streams of random bits and reconstructs numbers by calculating frequencies. The computations are performed on the streams and translate complicated operations on formula_3 and formula_4 into
