The 64-Bit InfoCAD program version is available for users dealing with very large systems of equations or data volumes.

The memory limitations that exist with 32-bit computer systems are eliminated through the use of the 64-bit address space. The only factors limiting usable memory size are the available hard drive capacity and the acceptable calculation time.

The message box of the computational program shown indicates the system parameters of this structure.
The system of equations with a size of 9.6 gigabytes could not be solved in this form using a 32-bit computer system. However, the 64-bit edition can easily handle a project of this size.

The address space is limited to 4 gigabytes (GB) for 32-bit computer systems. Of those, 2 GB are reserved for the operating system. The other 2 GB are available for applications. The amount of memory space that is actually available for calculations is reduced further by applications that are loaded by the operating system.

For 64-bit systems the address space is limited to 16 terabytes (TB). Of those, 8 TB are reserved for the operating system. The remaining 8 TB are available for applications.

Preconditions for the use of the 64-bit edition of InfoCad are a 64-bit computer as well as the 64-bit version of the operating system (Windows XP Professional x64 Edition or Vista x64).
For handling
such large systems, a physical memory (RAM) of at least 4 gigabytes is recommended.
