想到我们确实需要64位系统,我尽力使自己不感到震惊。或者你的反应仅仅是耸一耸肩,认为它是二进制魔力的另一个发展里程碑。这个里程碑就好象从16位系统向32位系统转变一样。你可以计算那个相当于64位二进制的大数字:这个数字要比一千八百亿个亿还要大。 64位数字够大吧? 你可以制作一部世界历史的实时电影,拍摄一百亿个亿帧的影片。如果你正在计算这部电影(?)帧数,你得到的结果将是一个很大的数字。不过与64位数字相比,它还是剩下了许多数字没有用到;如果你的电脑采用64位系统,你可以将全世界海洋的海水用水桶来装,并且给每个水桶加一个标签。然后,你再来数这些水桶的数目。你会发现64位所能够表示的数字会剩下许多;如果采用64位颜色的视频卡,在你的显示屏幕上每个像素点上放置一种不同的颜色,那么会有什么样的结果呢?每个点的颜色都不相
Thinking I did need a 64-bit system, I tried my best not to be alarmed. Or your reaction is just a shrug, that it is another milestone in the development of binary magic. This milestone is like a shift from a 16-bit system to a 32-bit system. You can count that big number, which is equivalent to 64-bit binary: this number is larger than 180 billion. 64-bit numbers are big enough? You can make a real-time movie with world history and shoot over 10 billion frames of video. If you are counting the number of frames in the movie, you get a very large number of results. However, it still does not use as many numbers as you can with 64-bit numbers. If your computer uses a 64-bit system, you can load seawater from around the world in buckets and label each bucket. Then you count the number of these buckets. You’ll find that there are still many 64-bit numbers to represent; what happens if you use a 64-bit video card to place a different color on each pixel on your display? The color of each point is not the same
