Pulls GP benefits from the 64bit architecture?

Post by MSandro » Aug 26th, '18, 21:24

Hi, does GP pulls any benefits from the 64 bit VM? Or does it make any difference whether the 32 or 64 bit VM is used.

Bigger integers? The 32 bit might be a little bit slower just because 64 bit is a really small percent faster of an architecture.

GP uses the same size integers on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. GP does run a little faster when compiled for 64-bit architectures. However, the speed increase isn't really noticeable except on benchmarks.

Okay ... good to know
I've asked this because I thought about an 64 bit variant of my BootToGP operating system. Accordingly, no 64 bit version is needed.
