Programming Itanium-Based Systems (Engineer-To-Engineer) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

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.
