When do you bet that 64-bit hardware will be common?

16-bit hardware and paging extensions lasted from the Commodore to the 386 Intel's PAE hack and lack of a visible 64-bit consumer strategy (Itanium is not a consumer strategy) suggest that they will try to put off the 64-bit migration in the same way. Given the performance and space hits you get with 64-bits, it might win.

As for memory for speed, if the amount of pre-buffering assigned to arrays, hash fill for a split of hashes, and similar parameters were tunable at runtime, then less could be made to work. Perl would still trade memory for performance, but how much could be adjusted significantly.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
