| ==Why Win64==
| |
| ''Speaker: Javaun Moradi''
| |
| * Take advantage of a limited window of opportunity in gaming and performance browser apps
| |
| * Competitive browsers
| |
| * Offer our users a better experience with improvements in stability, performance, and security. 50% of Firefox Windows users currently run 64 bit

| ;Timing
| |
| [proposed]
| |
| Recommend kick-off for Fx37. Fx37 will be trunk as of 11/25 and ships on 03/31/15.

| | |
| ==Cross-Functional Requirements==
| |
| ;RelEng
| |
| | |
| ;Automated Testing (RelEng/Ateam)
| |
| | |
| ;Reliability Testing (Desktop QE)
| |
| Achieve or exceed reliability parity with 32-bit (less than 1 crash per ~100 ADU).
| |
| ;Perf Benchmarks
| |
| Achieve or exceed performance parity with 32-bit. Clint recommends not gating on adding more perf tests and add them incrementally.
| |
| ;Performance Criteria
| |
| ;Reliability Testing
| |
| * Hardware: shouldn't be a problem, ctalbert is double checking on number of modern 64bit machines in-house
| |
| * We'll need some coordination with Romanian team

| ;Performance Testing
| |
| ;Graphics Drivers Impact
| |
| No major impact to blacklists anticipated. From Milan, "It’s possible that WOW64 is somehow savings us from problems that we’d now start seeing with a native 64-bit Firefox, but I doubt that it would be any significant number of them."

| Real-world, variety testing will ultimately reveal
