Mixture of 32Bit and 64Bit tasks

Post: Thanks Toby. I was lucky enough to get a personal tour of the site when I came to visit a work colleague about 5 years ago, but obviously had to stay at the surface level. I bet more people have climbed Everest than visited the detectors ;) The visitor's facilities are excellent anyhow. I was happy enough just looking down the viewing shafts and took loads of photos, but you just can't judge the physical scale looking down:  Anyway, I've gone way off topic here ;) |

Post: Thanks Toby - yes, I noticed after posting that they all state (32 bit), and should really have delved into Task Manager a bit more, as you can choose to display the 'Platform' column in the Details tab as below:  And thanks very much Eric - it's good to know I'm running Sixtrack in the most optimum format currently available. It might also help if I concentrate on tasks related to 'proton beam stability', and not 'pings from ET', but I'm sure you don't mind a mixture of LHC and SETI ;) Good luck with the 60th anniversary celebrations - I wish I was there, but my kids are way too young to be allowed in. Fortunately there is a local exhibition at Manchester that I will take them too: http://mosi.org.uk/whats-on/collider |

Post: Apologies in advance is this is an old question, but why are some tasks 32Bit and some 64Bit ? Is my PC assigned a 'random' selection comprising tasks for both CPU architectures ? If there's an advantage in running 64Bit tasks on a 64Bit PC, is there a way that my account will only get assigned 64Bit tasks? ============
