Programming Itanium-based Systems: Developing High Performance Applications for Intel's New Architecture
Programming Itaniumbased Systems Developing High Performance Applications for Intel's New Architecture Author:Walter A. Triebel, Joe Bissell, Rick Booth 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... more » 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 applicationsincluding 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.« less
