AMD has introduced a 64-bit extension to the x86 instruction set architecture called AMD64. AMD?s first processor in the AMD64 family, the AMD Opteron, supports 256TB virtual address space, eliminating the large memory access problem. It is able to run both 64-bit AMD64 applications and 32-bit x86 applications from within a 64-bit operating system, and 32-bit applications will run with no degradation in performance. This paper describes key features of the AMD64 architecture, and looks at the performance of Oracle9i Release 2 on Linux/AMD64.
