System architecture.
There are two type of system architectures, there are 32 bit and 64 bit, and they are depending on
your CPU, the chipset that is installed inside of your computer.
The chipset comes again as a 32 bit processor or 62 or 64 bit.
The main difference between 32 and 64 bit is the one that I highlighted in this paragraph, which says
a big difference between 32 bit processor and a 64 bit process is the number of calculation per second.
They can perform the rest, whatever is written.
I want you to read it.
But the primary difference is the one is highlighted in bold.
So when you have a 32 bed system and when you have a 64 bit system.
You could run 32 bit applications on a 64 bit system, however, you cannot run 64 bit applications
on a 32 bit system.
So when you are going and talking to your vendors, talking to your hardware manufacturers, you're
going to have to decide what kind of architecture that you want for your computer.
And it also depends on the user who is requesting the computer to have the application installed on
it.
What kind of option, what kind of architecture they want in Linux, the command to find out whether
it's a 32 bit system or 64.
It's just by running a simple command, A or C, H or architecture in windows.
It's go to my computer, right.
Click and go to properties.
You should be able to see if your computer is 32 or 64 bit.
So as an as an exercise for you right now, at this point, I want you to go onto your Windows machine
and find out what is your architecture, what is your CPU chipset architecture as is a 32 bit or the
64 bit.
I bet you most of you will find out, find that out today.
Let's run this command in our Linux environment and then we'll see how the output comes out.
You don't have to be rude to run this command, so I'll simply run away or see it and hear it would
tell you were the last two digit.
It is sixty four.
But you could also get this information from another command that we have learned is you name minus
eight in unit minus A right here, somewhere in the middle.
Well close to the end you will see the architecture is showing as 64 bit operating system.
The reason I have added a RCAF command, which is very short, is because sometimes you do have to run
certain scripts in your environment and you need to find out information about your architecture by
running simple command.
So architecture is another thing that when you log into any of the machine, please run it.
Tried one of the architectures.
And also I would highly recommend you to go online and read a little more about the difference between
32 and 64 bit architecture.
Thank you.
