Chapter 5: Runtime Issues


This chapter outlines why your 32-bit and 64-bit applications may run differently, due both to compiler differences and to architectural modes. It describes the Performance and Precise Exception Modes of the R8000 microprocessor architecture and how they affect the calculations of applications. This chapter also briefly outlines a methodology to bring up and debug applications.
