Enhancing IA-64 Memory Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
IA-64 is Intel Corporation’s recently released 64-bit architecture. It includes features such as data/control speculation, instruction predication and a large number of parallel resources. Also included is a novel memory management unit that allows orthogonal translation and protection mechanisms to be used. This flexibility opens up opportunities for improved memory management techniques. This paper presents our enhancements to IA-64 Linux memory management with focus on improving effective TLB coverage.

Improving the Performance of GCC by Exploiting IA-64 Architectural Features
The IA-64 architecture provides a rich set of features to aid the compiler in exploiting instruction-level parallelism to achieve high performance. Currently, GCC is a widely used open-source compiler for IA-64, but its performance, especially its floating-point performance, is poor compared to that of commercial compilers because it has not fully utilized IA-64 architectural features. Since la...

متن کاملSoftSDV: A Presilicon Software Development Environment for the IA-64 Architecture
New instruction-set architectures (ISAs) live or die depending on how quickly they develop a large software base. This paper describes SoftSDV, a presilicon software-development environment that has enabled at least eight commercial operating systems and numerous large applications to be ported and tuned to IA-64, well in advance of ItaniumTM processor’s first silicon. IA-64 versions of Microso...

Not content to wrap sheet metal around Intel microprocessors for its future server business, IBM is developing a processor it hopes will fend off the IA-64 juggernaut. Speaking at this week’s Microprocessor Forum, chief architect Jim Kahle described IBM’s monster 170-million-transistor Power4 chip, which boasts two 64-bit 1-GHz five-issue superscalar cores, a triple-level cache hierarchy, a 10-...
