This is the first general programming book for software application developers targeting the Itanium processor family.

Programming Itanium-based Systems will help you to harness the power of Intel's new line of very long instruction word (VLIW) processors by providing:

  • Code optimization advice, including low-level explanation of what happens under the hood when code is compiled.
  • Explanation of ways the application programmer can take advantage of the EPIC architecture's parallelism.
  • A thorough treatment of porting applications to the Itanium environment.
  • Unique insights into optimization and tuning of Itanium applications - including numerous examples and an extensive case history.
  • Insight into the effective use of Itanium software development tools.

    This is the book for you:

  • If you want to know how to create, optimize, and tune application software for the Itanium architecture.
  • If you are making the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit addressing.
  • If you are buying your first-perhaps your only-book on the Itanium family of processors.

    You can find additional detailed information about the architecture in a companion book from Intel Press, Itanium Architecture for Software Developers.
