	HP/Intel IA64 (Was Re: I hate to ask, but.... (Alpha-PC))
		Our HP reps began talking about the IA64 project at least two years ago, and possibly more--I've forgotten the exact date when they first mentioned it.
		But their description, while a bit optimistic at first, is in agreement with everything else I've heard about IA64 both from other HP sources and from sources within the Intel user community.
		Whether the IA64 will implement new instructions also is less certain, but, well, probably.

	LWN: Patch: ia64 function return probes
		The following is an implementation of the ia64 specific parts for implementing the function return probes functionality that is a part of kprobes.
		For ia64 complexities came up with respect to: * the assumption that kernel/kprobes.c is working with a stacked based architecture * the assumption that changing the return address to kretprobe_trampoline() will always result in the first instruction of of kretprobe_trampoline being executed.
		+ * + * For ia64 the return address is just the bundle address and the correct + * slot to execute inside that bundle is restored via the psr.ri when the + * return instruction is executed.

	Under the Hood: Programming for 64-bit Windows -- MSDN Magazine, November 2000
		In assembly code and in the debugger, the r1 register is usually referred to by another name: the GP register, which quite expectedly is shorthand for global pointer.
		Since each IA64 load module has its own data area and associated GP value, some sort of mechanism is necessary to change the GP value when control goes from one load module to another.
		In an IA64 load module, each IAT array element is the address of a PLABEL_DESCRIPTOR in the DLL being imported.

		In practice however the distinction between a tier 1 platform (which is fully supported) and a tier 2 platform is not as strict as it seems.
		In almost all aspects the ia64 port is a tier 1 platform.
		From a developer point of view there's an advantage to have the ia64 port be a tier 2 platform for a while longer.

	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.
		Optimized code for IA64 can be very complex to generate and difficult to debug.
		Furthermore, the existence of hazards may be shrouded by predication and may only occur in obscure circumstances.

	Real World Technologies - Making a Mountain Out of a Molehill
		The disclosure of design details for the first IA64 processor Merced/Itanium was overshadowed by Intel architecture lab manager Fred Pollack’s unusual downplaying of Merced’s performance.
		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.
		But the practical limit to which both factors can improve the performance of an MPU design manufactured in the same semiconductor process strongly suggests that McKinley is also a much more efficient and better organized design.

	FreeBSD/ia64 Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A very important task for the success of FreeBSD on ia64 is making sure that users have something to run besides ls(1).
		Our huge ports collection has been targeting ia32 for the most part, so it is not surprising that there are a lot of ports that do not build or do not work on ia64.
		This is a rather big issue, because it affects all platforms and may involve rewriting (big) parts of certain subsystems.

	The Old New Thing : The history of calling conventions, part 4: ia64 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		When the called function returns, the register then move back to their previous position and the original values of r32 through r38 are restored from the register stack.
		One more curious detail about the ia64: A function pointer on the ia64 does not point to the first byte of code.
		If a function is variadic, you call it like a normal function, but the function itself spills the first eight input registers (r32 through r39) onto the stack next to any possible parameters 9 and upwards, and then it treats the parameters as one giant array.

	The Old New Thing : Uninitialized garbage on ia64 can be deadly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The ia64 introduces yet another possible bad consequence of a mismatched function signature which you may have thought was harmless.
		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.
		In tomorrow's entry, I'll talk about some other ways the ia64 will make you pay the penalty when you take shortcuts in your code and manage to skate by on the comparatively error-forgiving i386.

		Despite of quite a lot of skepticism about the IA64 architecture and its future, the Itanium 2 processors are gaining momentum, according to Intel.
		So far about 110 thousand of IA64 central processing units have been shipped, the majority of them — around 100 thousand units — are Itanium 2 chips supplied last year.
		One of the targets Intel would like to address is to put on par the costs of Itanium and Xeon hardware sometimes in the middle of the decade.

		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.
		Another possibility is to use one of the beta-release debian-installer images for ia64.
		It's possible that you may find an early ia64 machine that needs a BIOS upgrade to work well with Linux.
