Itanium Architecture for Programmers
Understanding 64-Bit Processors and EPIC Principles
James S. Evans, Gregory Trimper
Résumé
Itanium® Architecture for Programmers is a comprehensive
introduction to the breakthrough capabilities of the new
64-bit Itanium architecture. Using standard command-line
tools and extensive examples, the authors illuminate the
Itanium design within the broader context of contemporary
computer architecture via a step-by-step investigation of
Itanium assembly language.
Coverage includes:
- The potential of Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC)
- Itanium instruction formats and addressing modes
- Innovations such as the register stack engine (RSE) and extensive predication
- Procedure calls and procedure-calling mechanisms
- Floating-point operations
- I/O techniques, from simple debugging to the use of files
- Optimization of output from open source, Intel, and HP-UX compilers
An essential resource for both computing professionals and students of architecture or assembly language, Itanium Architecture for Programmers includes extensive printed and Web-based references, plus many numeric, essay, and programming exercises for each chapter.
