René, do I undetstand you right that T/2 running on a Itanium (Merced) ?
I have to wonder if anyone has made an FPGA implementation of the Itanium? That'd be good for playing around with. How much of an obstacle would the high register count be to implementation, though?
it strikes me that it was hp who paid the price for intel's technical failures. not only did they end their own r&d but they were left footing the bill for intel's.
what i find most difficult to comprehend was the failure of the industry as a whole to recognize the demand for 64 bit addressing prior to amd64 being released
i agree entirely that dropping ia64 at this point in time is inconsistent with the established philosophy of the linux kernel. (tho i am in no way an expert on the linux kernel or the its ia64 support)
Great walkthrough! Thanks
you make protogens around the world happy

Very nice video! I can imagine the engineers of companies like SGI, killing all those working products and thinking how management are killing everything…
I know software folks are good at minimizing effort, but I never thought it would get to the point where we'd forget about making better tools for this kind of ISA that required super precise instruction blueprints.
