quadword
|
|
|
|
A *quadword* is a unit of memory consisting of four adjacent
|
|
:term:`words <word>`.
|
|
|
|
.. historical::
|
|
|
|
In Digital's Alpha architecture, a quadword of 64 bits was
|
|
actually the natural word size, but the term *word* was
|
|
still used for the 16-bit unit, for compatibility with the
|
|
PDP-11.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: :term:`doubleword`.
