| | Halo: A Hazard Location Tool for IA64 |
 | | IA64, the new Epic architecture from Intel and HP, has introduced many new features that allow a high degree of hardware control by software. | | | These features include explicit delineation of instruction level parallelism (ILP) and predication, which allows branch delays to be avoided by guarding sequences of code with Boolean predicates. | | | Moreover, writing system level components at the assembly level can be error-prone. |

| | Under the Hood: Programming for 64-bit Windows -- MSDN Magazine, November 2000 |
| | Having worked with Intel's IA64 architecture and its Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) technology for more than six months, I can tell you that there's no way to cover all of the interesting new concepts in a single article, much less a column. | | | Fortunately, the IA64 data area is 4MB, rather than the 64KB segment limit in Win16. | | | In my own work, CPU portability is now a much more tangible concept, since I've written code that works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. |

| | Real World Technologies - Making a Mountain Out of a Molehill |
| | After years of Khruschev-like "we will bury you" rhetoric directed at the makers of RISC processor and systems from the Intel and HP camp, the public dressing down of the first generation IA64 device, a processor that wouldn’t ship for nearly two years, was very surprising. | | | And was yet another sign that the mammoth project to harness very long instruction word (VLIW) technology for general purpose computing wasn’t progressing well. | | | This will lead directly to speculation about the nature of the McKinley design and the various approaches Intel and HP may have used to raise IA64 performance to a level befitting a processor immodestly named after the tallest mountain in North America. |

| | HP/Intel IA64 (Was Re: I hate to ask, but.... (Alpha-PC)) |
| | Considering how long I've heard rumors of Intel's _finally_ breaking x86 compatability (close to 3 years now) I wouldn't be surprised if this attempt is also just a rumor. | | | Binary compatibility with existing x86 *and* PA-RISC binaries has been the one constant in every description of the IA64 that I've ever heard. | | | It will recognize the instruction sets of both the x86 family of CPUs and the HP PA-RISC family of CPUs. |

| | BYTE.com > Porting Linux Software to the IA64 Platform |
| | The IA64 processor family is the fruit of a common effort between HP and Intel to introduce a replacement for the venerable but outdated Intel386 platform. | | | Recently, HP contacted me to ask if I was interested in porting my openMosix software to the Intel IA64 platform. | | | I remember that for the very first column I intended to write about the new Intel IA64 platform and HP's ongoing effort to port Linux to it. |

| | The Old New Thing : Uninitialized garbage on ia64 can be deadly |
| | There is a special form of load instruction on the ia64 which attempts to load the value from memory, but if the load fails (because the memory is paged out or the address is invalid), then instead of raising a page fault, all that happens is that NaT bit gets set, and execution continues. | | | Or, I suppose, the customers could just do what I did when I found I'd been sold a machine which corrupted the BIOS data area, which killed unpatched Brief, and return their new computers as not PC compatible? | | | If you're linking dynamically, you can do it either way. |

| | Debian -- IA-64 Port |
| | The best option, particularly if you are using an HP Integrity server (though unofficially, this image will work with many other ia64 systems), is to use the Debian installer that is part of the HP Enablement Kit for Linux, available for free download from HP's web site. | | | It's possible that you may find an early ia64 machine that needs a BIOS upgrade to work well with Linux. | | | Some HP Itanium 2 systems need an updated kernel before the integrated gigabit Ethernet interface will work as expected. |
