Applications page has 32-bit application for Windows and 32 and 64-bit applications for linux. The question is: Would i get and computation output increase if i run camb legacy 54-bit linux on the same hardware? |

It's hard to say exactly but generally speaking yes 64bit tasks are faster, or do more computations in the same amount of time. The only way to know for sure would be to do a test of each which would of course be a pain unless you have multiple drives you can swap out. Another way would be to load up a 64bit OS and then make a 32bit virtual machine inside it meaning you coud run both kinds of tasks at the same time, that assumes your machine has the resources to do that of course. |
