Memory requirements
USEARCH is distributed as a 32-bit or 64-bit binary file, also called an
executable file.
32-bit binaries
A 32-bit binary is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms, but is limited to using 4Gb or less memory. The 32-bit version is
licensed at no charge.
64-bit binaries
A 64-bit binary requires a fully 64-bit platform (both processor and operating system),
and can use all available physical memory. The 64-bit version requires a paid
license.

Finding the USEARCH binary type
As distributed, the binary file name
indicates the platform. The version command can be
used to determine the platform if the file has been renamed.
Finding the processor and O/S type
Under Linux and OSX, the uname -m command shows the processor. On an Intel
or Intel-compatible platform (required by USEARCH) it will report x86_64 for a
64-bit processor and something without _x64, e.g. i686, for a 32-bit processor.
Under Windows, you can right-click on Computer and select Properties. Under
System, you should see information about the processor and O/S type:
