Is dell computer is litle or big endian

[haiderali]

what is the little or big endian of cpu

 

[hang-the-9]

DELL is a very small company, I think 6 workers, they sell about 50 computers a year. Takes 5 seconds to find info on a company these days.

Your thread title and your apparent question have nothing to do with Dell as a company. You are asking a more generic computing question.

Go here and read the info provided. If this doesn't help solve your issue, come back for more help.

Good luck!

is that meant to be a joke?.....

Without a doubt!

yes.They have the only 6 workers..
With small endian..6 bits

If it's a standard PC, laptop or netbook based on a mainstream processor (such as an Intel Pentium, Core or Atom or an AMD Athlon or Phenom family CPU) then it's little-endian. If you're running Windows on it, it's probably little-endian. If you're not running Windows, you probably already know exactly what processor you've got and its endianness!

If I remember correctly, the old Motorola 68000 family of processors, used in the early Apple Macs along with the Amiga and Atari home computers were big-endian.

Other types of processor such as ARM (very common in smartphones and tablets), IBM POWER, Sun SPARC and Intel Itanium (mainly seen in high-end servers) can operate in either endianness - they are said to be bi-endian.

Isn't Endian designations of UNICODE?

I actually though he was talking Big Indian or Little Indian as in company size and just misspelled it I will back out the door with my reply then if that's not the case.

That brings back memories. I hadn't thought about this in over 20 years.

Its all good, brudda! No one will make fun of you or anything like that. Never happens on Tom's.....snicker.....

Endian is actually a high-programming level code bit and the question is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent asked on these boards. Shame for mocking.

...thus the early post to direct the OP to a site to actually answer the question. The rest of the thread was just geeks poking fun at geeks. HOOAH!

Anybody worried about the order of bytes in a word
must be doing homework!

More power to them
I hope the link that was posted helped them
Though I dont understand why Dell was specifically mentioned

My guess is that the OP has or uses a Dell. Just a guess.....

Well yeah but unless they are studying coding then
why would they ask?

Not a normal thing to come across for a home user
Of course knowledge for the sake of knowledge is a good thing

True. I haven't heard a related question in a few years. Then it was a development issue trying to make two very different systems more interoperable. Still good to shake the dust off of those neurons from time to time.

I could also see how a professor might ask this question of students and what standard is being used in the development environment of the class.
