Solaris 64-bit Operating Environment

SPARC: 64-bit Operating Environment

The 64-bit Solaris operating environment is a complete 32-bit and 64-bit application and development environment that is supported by a 64-bit operating system. This environment permits maximum compatibility and interoperability for existing applications, both source and binary. At the same time, the 64-bit Solaris operating environment overcomes many of the limitations of the 32-bit system. Most notably, this environment supports a 64-bit virtual address space and removes other existing 32-bit system limitations. (This feature is for the Solaris operating environment SPARC Platform Edition only.)
