- Itanium ahead of its time

The Itanic architecture is pretty solid. The EPIC architecture takes the pipelining and predictive branching stuff, out of the hardware and into software. This makes the compiler technology VERRY important, and we all know that software always lags hardware in "maturity".
Re-compiling everything is what is needed for Itanic. Not a very easy task to get all your software vendors to do! This is EXACTLY what the Alpha chip required (Ultrix -> OSF1), and the (main) reason for DEC to fail. The Alpha seemed to get more popular AFTER DEC bit the dust, which was what, 3-4 years after Alpha came out. So it CAN be done - but it takes years.
These same "Alpha-heads" that talk up the virtues of the Alpha chip, will be singing the same tune about Itanic - when Itanic finally sails . . . - Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 09/27/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
