  • Introduction
    Introduction Why 64-Bit Computing? The question of why we need 64-bit computing is often asked but rarely answered in a satisfactory manner. There are good reasons for the confusion surrounding the question. That is why first of all; let's look through the list of users who need 64 addressing and 64-bit calculations today: • Users of CAD, designing systems, simulators do need RAM over 4 GB. Although there are ways to avoid this limitation (for example, Intel PAE), it impacts the performance. Thus, the Xeon processors support the 36bit addressing mode where they can address up to 64GB RAM. The idea of this support is that the RAM is divided into segments, and an address consists of the numbers of segment and locations inside the segment. This approach causes almost 30% performance loss in operations with memory. Besides, programming is much simpler and more convenient for a flat memory model in the 64bit address space - due to the large address space a location has a simple address processed at one pass. A lot of design offices use quite expensive workstations on the RISC processors where the 64bit addressing and large memory sizes are used for a long time already. • Users of data bases. Any big company has a huge data base, and extension of the maximum memory size and possibility to address data directly in the data base is very costly. Although in the special modes the 32bit architecture IA32 can address up to 64GB memory, a transition to the flat memory model in the 64bit space is much more advantageous in terms of speed and ease of programming.

Some companies refer to the motherboard as a system board or planar. The terms motherboard, main board, system board, and planar are interchangeable, although I prefer the motherboard designation. This chapter examines the various types of motherboards available and those components typically contained on the motherboard and motherboard interface connectors. Several common form factors are used for PC motherboards. The form factor refers to the physical dimensions (size and shape) as well as certain connector, screw hole, and other positions that dictate into which type of case the board will fit. Some are true standards (meaning that all boards with that form factor are interchangeable), whereas others are not standardized enough to allow for inter- changeability. Unfortunately, these nonstandard form factors preclude any easy upgrade or inexpen- sive replacement, which generally means they should be avoided. The more commonly known PC motherboard form factors include the following: Obsolete Form Factors Modern Form Factors All Others ■ Baby-AT ■ ATX ■ Fully proprietary designs ■ Full-size AT ■ micro-ATX (certain Compaq, Packard Bell, Hewlett-Packard, ■ ■ LPX (semiproprietary) Flex-ATX notebook/portable sys- ■ WTX (no longer in production) ■ Mini-ITX (flex-ATX tems, and so on) ■ ITX (flex-ATX variation, never variation) produced) ■ NLX Motherboards have evolved over the years from the original Baby-AT form factor boards used in the original IBM PC and XT to the current ATX and NLX boards used in most full-size desktop and tower systems.

This technical brief discusses how to achieve efficient bandwidth rates in your application, including transfers from and to the graphics processing unit (GPU). Ikrima Elhassan [email protected] NVIDIA Corporation 2701 San Tomas Expressway Santa Clara, CA 95050 August 16, 2005 TB-02011-001_v01 1 08/17/05 Achieving Efficient Bandwidth Rates Graphics applications are often bandwidth bound. To make matters worse, non PCI-e video cards have asymmetric bandwidth rates, with slower readback rates than download rates. Unfortunately, applications often require reading the frame buffer. For example, some applications write intermediary results to the frame buffer and use it as an input to additional rendering or computation passes. This paper aims to discuss ways to achieve fast transfers by: Using an nForce3 or comparable AGP chipset Using pixel sizes that are multiples of 32 bits to avoid data padding. Storing 8-bit textures in a BGRA layout in system memory and use the GL_BGRA as the external format for textures to avoid swizzling. Using a PBO to transfer data to and from the GPU. If possible, using multiple PBOs to implement an asynchronous readback scheme.
