The tube you are holding is a dual-triode. In other words, two bits.

[@FrankHarwald]

Originally, 8-bit 16-bit referred to the width of the data units (natively supported data type, data bus & registers) which often had different widths for the range of their addressable memory space (16, 20, 24 bits). Funny later on, processors got more & more fancier data units (32-bit, 64-bit, 80-bit, 96-bit data types but also vectorized 128-bit, 256-bit & now 512-bit data types) but increasingly simpler & condensed addressable memory space (at least the logical or virtual memory space is overwhelmingly 32-bit or 64-bit on modern processors (while physical addressable memory still has awry different limits)) so some folks switched from categorizing their processors from data units to the size of addressable virtual memory space for conveniance.

There are two triodes in the tube, each used as NOT gates. Additional circuitry can be used to create a Flip-Flop, which is a sort of flipable bit or bi-stable gate..

What about unix time and how we are running out of 32 bit time?

[@carultch]

The Unix time stamp is defined as a number of seconds since midnight on January 1st 1970 in the time zone of the UK, ignoring leap seconds, and assuming every day has exactly 86400 seconds. This is why you end up with date stamps in 1969, because the date somehow got stored as zero by mistake, and if your time zone is in the USA, 1/1/1970 at midnight in the UK, happened on 12/31/1969 (for me, it would happen at 7 pm on that day). Your computer translates the Unix time stamp according to your time zone and the history of leap seconds, in order to put it in a form that makes sense to you. So late December back in 69 is when Unix says it is the start of time. In the 2038, there will be another equivalent Y2K event, where 32-bit Unix times stamp runs out of capacity to store the time. It will occur on January 19th at 03:14:07 AM UTC in 2038. It will be 2^32 seconds since the time stamp began. 32-bit systems will think it is the 1970's again. If you have 64 bit capabilities, it will never run out of capacity to store the date and time stamp in any practical time scale for humanity, as it will be longer than the age of the universe thus far.

[@Naverdo]

@@bryceforsyth8521 I'm sorry I don't know much and didn't get the video properly but what do larger registers and internal busea? Do they allow storing more data that can be used at once in the processor or is it something else? And it doesn't give any ipc advantage?

[@bryceforsyth8521]

@@Naverdo The registers will store larger values in a 64 bit system than a 32 bit system, so indeed more data per register, which in turn would allow larger values to be operated on immediately if the ALU is large enough to handle it. Look to the MC68000 which was a 32 bit processor (in a sense), but had a 16 bit ALU and external bus. If anything having a larger ALU would cause the 64 bit system to have a disadvantage when it comes to IPC (due to propogation delays and such, It would be more challenging to achieve an equivalent IPC), however for every arithmetic instruction executed more data is handled. If you look to modern processors, many have larger registers than their 32 or 64 bit labels would suggest. Such registers are operated on by internal coprocessing elements and [such registers] would be treated as sets of smaller registers by the CPU itself.

[@ChristmasEve777]

There is also a distinction between word size and addressable memory. For more modern computers, they go hand-in-hand. A 32 bit processor can process 32 bits in a single clock cycle and also address 4GB of memory. 64 bit processors follow suit. But please realize that this was not always the case. The 6502 processor, for example, that was used in the Commodore 64 long ago was an 8-bit processor. But this didn't mean it could only address 256 bytes of memory. It had an 8-bit data bus but the address bus was 16 bits. With 16 bits, you can address 65536 bytes of memory without bank switching, or 64K, hence the name of the computer: Commodore 64. So the 6502 was an 8/16 bit processor in a sense. A true 16-bit processor would handle 16 bits at a time in computations as well (16-bit data bus). The Commodore 128 did NOT have a 17-bit address bus. When I first got one, I tried the basic command POKE 65536, 0 and it didn't work (to set the first byte of the second 64k of memory to 0). As a kid, it took me a while to realize IT USED THE SAME 8 BIT PROCESSOR (with 16 bit addressing). They simply doubled up on the RAM and added a DMA switch at the end of memory to toggle between the two banks of 64k that the processor sees.

The fastest way to tell if your Windows system is running a 64-bit CPU and your OS is actually running 64-bit software is to Open Task Manager(Ctrl+Shift+Esc), go to the Details tab, right click one of the column headers(Clicking on the word "Name" would do it), choosing Select Columns, selecting Platform, then pressing OK. Now click the word "Platform". If "64-Bit" shows up in at least one entry, that means you can run 64-bit programs, and your system is running a 64-bit OS. PS: You can also check to see if the folder "Program Files (x86)" exists in your main drive(usually C:\), but that might just indicate that the Hard Drive was ever used for a 64-bit system. I don't think Windows deletes that folder just because you install a 32-bit system on it. PPS: You can also just go to the "About" page in most programs and it might tell you. But that is just for that one program and many programs are still 32-bit.

Thank for most informative video on P.C's

Oh my god suddenly the stuff I learned in CS 2 clicked!

[@nfyfirst6993]

understood. wow, detailed description.

[@Nyr1k]

Thanks! This is a really good vid about this topic. Now i finally understand :)

[@deepakcsjm]

excellent explanation, thank you.

You pretty much explained the real information behind the fuzzy terms talking about X bit hardwares. However, I miss the explanation in terms of software. What does it exactly mean if an operating system is a 32b or a 64b OS?

Kindly suggest a up to 55 Bit MOOCs scheme

I'm not sure if you still reply to questions but what are the magic numbers of computing? It seems like that 32 bit and 64 bit integer limit are magical numbers, 255 and then this with 65565 or what?

Geez, I have wondered for years what the difference is between 32 & 64 bit, such, that I've taken the time to watch video's that so far haven't done much to my understanding this. Well not anymore! I don't know what gave this guy the gift to allow me to finally understand the concept. And the explanation of the binary possibilities was fascinating, or I'm a simple guy. Thanks for posting this video, I'm a bit more Edumacated now, no seriously, good vid.
