How to tell if Windows 11 is 64-bit or ARM64? This is a hot topic and it is easy to find the system type on your computer. In this post, MiniTool introduces three ways to help you know what bit your Windows 11 PC is.

Step 3: Under the Device specifications section and locate System type to find what bit your computer is. If the screen says 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, Windows 11 is 64-bit. If you see 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor, it means the system type is ARM64.

How do I know what bit my Windows 11 is? To find the answer to this question, you can also go to check your PC specifications including system architecture via the msinfo32 command (System Information).

Is Windows 11 64-bit or ARM64? How to tell if Windows 11 is 64 or ARM64? After reading this post, you know three common ways to check system type in Windows 11. Then, you can download a proper version of software or device drivers based on the system architecture and install the compatible version for your PC.

But I cannot do that on an Intel mac (it is running an older version of macOS hence an older version of Xcode which does not support arm64 anyway). Is there a way to get the list of supported architectures by the tool chain?

Since it looks like everybody compiling in the near future for macOS will be faced with the same kind of issue, I am hoping that this can be a part of CMake. Maybe a new variable like XCODE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD_WHEN_AVAILABLE which would do the right thing whether on M1 (universal build) or Intel (single build)?

CMake has always picked up the right toolchain for me, and I have multiple Xcode versions installed too. I switch between them either by changing the default one (using xcode-select or within the Xcode IDE preferences) or by setting the DEVELOPER_DIR environment variable when running CMake for the first time in a build directory.

The arm64 architecture is available in most AWS Regions. For more information, see AWS Lambda Pricing. In the memory prices table, choose the Arm Price tab, and then open the Region dropdown list to see which AWS Regions support arm64 with Lambda.

Lambda functions that use arm64 architecture (AWS Graviton2 processor) can achieve significantly better price and performance than the equivalent function running on x86_64 architecture. Consider using arm64 for compute-intensive applications such as high-performance computing, video encoding, and simulation workloads.

Graviton2 reduces memory read time by providing a larger L2 cache per vCPU, which improves the latency performance of web and mobile backends, microservices, and data processing systems. Graviton2 also provides improved encryption performance and supports instruction sets that improve the latency of CPU-based machine learning inference.

Your Lambda function code must be compatible with the instruction set architecture of the function. Before you migrate a function to arm64 architecture, note the following points about the current function code:

If your function uses layers, you must check each layer to ensure that it is compatible with the new architecture. If a layer is not compatible, edit the function to replace the current layer version with a compatible layer version.

For more information about how to create a code environment for arm64 architecture, including language-specific information for Java, Go, .NET, and Python, see the Getting started with AWS Graviton GitHub repository.

You can configure the instruction set architecture for new and existing Lambda functions using the Lambda console, AWS SDKs, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS CloudFormation. Follow these steps to change the instruction set architecture for an existing Lambda function from the console.

I'm downloading both versions of Ubuntu 12.04 at this moment. I'd like to install AMD64 on my portable, even though it's an Intel machine. Is there a website (or another way) where I can check compatibility?

But they are compatible. It is a bit of an historical artifact in that AMD was the creator of the 64 bit 'long' mode, and later Intel matched that creation.

But naming often refers to any 64 bit binary as an AMD/64bit format, usually with the label 'AMD64'.

Acer Aspire 5745G-724G50MNKS is 64 bit so you can run the amd64 download on it. I use the serial number (7545G) to google it and try to find items that included the architecture. Shops sell it with Windows 64 installed.

This is a more general but very practical answer to questions like this. We assume that we have no idea on what hardware we are, and we do not want to know anything about processors or achitecture of our system.

If that is a success and you are able to try out Ubuntu on your machine you then know for sure that your CPU is capable of running 64-bit Ubuntu. In addition you will also know that other hardware you may have is compatible. An installation will then be a success. If it fails go ahead with the 32-bit version.

I need the orthanc-plugins docker image to be compatible with arm64, so I tried to build a docker image with an arm64 base. But I ran into an error showing me that at least one plugin was not compatible with arm64:

I just tried orthancteam/orthanc docker container, and I get Unable to query for studies at this time. Check your data source configuration or network connection when I try to log into Ohif Viewer. I am trying this setup, but with ohif/app instead of ohif/viewer (and a modified .js file). I built the ohif/app to be arm64 compatible.

This post shows you how to retrieve the list of container images from a live Kubernetes cluster, and check the manifests of those images at their registries to see whether an arm64/aarch64 version is available.

The arm64/aarch64 platform is gaining popularity in the container world as the chips themselves spread to more domains. They've been used on single board computers like the Raspberry Pi and smartphones for a while, but more recently on Apple Macs using Apple Silicon and various ARM-based cloud offerings from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and Hetzner (who also offer dedicated servers using Ampere Altra chips). The offerings are generally cheaper than Intel/AMD equivalents and AWS and Google Cloud are even offering their basic ARM VMs on a free trial basis (other charges may apply, like storage and bandwidth).

With the substantial potential cost savings, it's worth considering whether to move Kubernetes workloads onto arm64 instances, either fully or as hybrid clusters. As a first step, you'll want to check whether your container images are available for arm64 in the first place.

Here, we'll create a one-liner shell script to scan through container images running on a Kubernetes cluster, checking each one with its registry to see if an arm64 version is available. I'll go through how I assembled the one-liner to help show how it works, but of course you can skip to the end if you just want to copy/paste.

We can then pipe the result into a while loop to check each image (I checked xargs as an option for the loop, but the slightly different implementations across BSD (Mac) and GNU (Linux) make it difficult to do it portably). If we put the loop in parentheses, it runs as a single process, making it easier to Ctrl+C to interrupt. Finally, I added some shell escapes to add colours and bolding, to make the output easier to read.

I've shown how to check a list of Kubernetes container images from a live cluster for arm64 compatibility. The approach could be extended to other architectures, or the list of images could be read from elsewhere (e.g. a file) with some small adaptations. This helps with planning before adopting arm64 nodes into a cluster, or indeed porting to arm64 completely where feasible.

I'm trying to write a script which will determine actions based on the architecture of the machine. I already use uname -m to gather the architecture line, however I do not know how many ARM architectures there are, nor do I know whether one is armhf, armel, or arm64.

As this is required for this script to determine whether portions of the script can be run or not, I am trying to find a simple way to determine if the architecture is armhf, armel or arm64. Is there any one-liner or simple command that can be used to output either armhf, armel, or arm64?

The script is specifically written for Debian and Ubuntu systems, and I am tagging as such with this in mind (it quits automatically if you aren't on one of those distros, but this could be applied in a much wider way as well if the command(s) exist)

EDIT: Recently learned that armel is dead, and arm64 software builders (PPA or virtual based) aren't the most stable. So I have a wildcard search finding arm* and assuming armhf, but it's still necessary to figure out a one liner that returns one of the three - whether it's a Ubuntu/Debian command or a kernel call or something.

I checked in with my colleague and they shared that if installing BW CLI on ARM64, you need build-essential and libssl-dev (or maybe just one?) installed in order for npm install -g @bitwarden/cli to work

You can bypass the secure connection requirement for npm but it would be safer to identify the underlying issue as it may impact other security concerns on your device and the software you install on it.

As I usually just use bitwarden in a browser environment. As you have forward my suggestion to support the sudo snap install bitwarden command. I can wait till this feature of snap install get supported in the future.

I followed the instructions and used pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url to install torch on my mac with M1 Pro (macOS 12.4, Python 3.9 arm64). However, the installed pytorch is still 1.11 and does not allow mps as a device.
