2. Linux
Where can I get a list that maps the each Linux version to corresponding 32/64 bits model?
e.g.
OS -> Model (ILP32, LP64, ...)
RHLE3 -> ?
RHLE4 -> ?
RHLE5 -> ?
...
It would be better if there is such a list that contains most of current UNIX OS versions.

Hi all,
I'm looking to cover a corner case for an upcoming test cycle. Is there a way to boot a RedHat Advanced Server 4 (update 3) installed on a Power PC machine to use a 32 bit kernel? This would be similar to what is done here -> https://www.unix.com/aix/26204-aix-platform.html

5. Solaris
Not really a Unix question as such :o, but what advantages or disadvantages are there between using 32bit or 64bit applications on a T5220 running Solaris 10? What about mixing them e.g. 64 bit app using 32 bit libraries or vice versa? (1 Reply)

6. UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users
Hi.
I need to migrate the whole unix environment from a Unix mp-ras 32 bit to a Linux Suse 64 bit.
1) can i use cpio to copy the data?
2) can i just copy the users from unix to linux or do i have to create them by hand
3) are there any other concerns i should worry about?
thanx (1 Reply)

For Intel processors we've a lot of new instruction sets (AVX and AVX2 already exists, AVX512 is announced). Therefore an application has to check during run time which instruction sets are available. I've written for that purpopse some procedures, which are callable from C or C++.

arch(1) User Commands arch(1)
NAME
arch - display the architecture of the current host
SYNOPSIS
arch [-k | archname]
DESCRIPTION
The arch utility displays the application architecture of the current host system. Due to extensive historical use of this command without
any options, all SunOS 5.x SPARC based systems will return "sun4" as their application architecture. Use of this command is discouraged.
See NOTES section below.
Systems can be broadly classified by their architectures, which define what executables will run on which machines. A distinction can be
made between kernel architecture and application architecture (or, commonly, just "architecture"). Machines that run different kernels due
to underlying hardware differences may be able to run the same application programs.
OPTIONS
-k Displays the kernel architecture, such as sun4u. This defines which specific SunOS kernel will run on the machine, and has impli-
cations only for programs that depend on the kernel explicitly (for example, ps(1)).
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
archname Use archname to determine whether the application binaries for this application architecture can run on the current host
system. The archname must be a valid application architecture, such as sun4, i86pc, and so forth.
If application binaries for archname can run on the current host system, TRUE (0) is returned. Otherwise, FALSE (1) is
returned.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
ATTRIBUTES

NOTES
This command is provided for compatibility with previous releases and its use is discouraged. Instead, the uname command is recommended.
See uname(1) for usage information.
