IA64 is really VLIW (very long instruction word), which is quite different
than traditional sequential RISC. It requires the compiler to do a LOT of
massively parallel pipeline scheduling to achieve optimal results. HP has
a
leg up on this compiler technology as IA64 is based on their

Hi,
For anyone interested, I've placed some more versions of MacLucasUNIX
on my ftp server (ftp://lettuce.edsc.ulst.ac.uk/gimps/software)
There are now additional versions compiled using gcc for Ultra CPUs
(the original file also worked on SuperSparcs) and three executables
compiled by Bill
Dear All: I'm catching up on lots of postings, so forgive me if this

And gas, taking the bloatedness to new heights, will require 8 bytes of
memory, 32 kB of hard disk space (making it impossible to compile Merced
code on a C64 -- the gas team has already issued a public apology for this)
and a toaster.
Gasp!
