/prog/ - 128bit systems

Since 16EiB memory would be enough for everyone(except those freaks playing holographic ultraHD porn, newest games and "efficient" scripting languages), the next step would be moving to 128 bit.

Except in a few rare situations, 32-bits addresses are sufficient. Larger pointers are cache-trashing bloat.

I have a TDN subscription since 1997. I know that feel.

It's not as awesome as it seems. You get mailed a dozen discs every month with small variations of Danmaku on them and related useless crap. Who even uses BulletML these days?

I cannot even conceive how much storage 16EiB is. what's E again? Exa? So you have giga, tera, peta, exa?... Nope, I still can't get my head round it

It ought be enough for anybody.

16EiB = 16,384PiB = 16,777,216TiB = 17,179,869,184GiB = 17,592,186,044,416MiB = 18,014,398,509,481,984KiB = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616B = 147,573,952,589,676,412,928 bit.

2³² * 2³² = 2⁶⁴
4GB * 4GB = 16EB
16 Giga-Gigabytes.

Also, anyone who says any amount of memory is "enough" is either trolling or naive. Until you can simulate every atom in the universe in real-time, it isn't enough.

Ah, thanks. 16 million hard drives makes a kind of sense
