Developing High Performance Applications for Intel's New Architecture
by Walter Triebel, Joseph Bissell, and Rick Booth |
|
|
|
 |
|
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.

Walter Triebel, author of numerous textbooks and reference books including Itanium Architecture for Software Developers, has over twenty years of experience as an application engineer and educator. For eighteen years, he worked for Intel Corporation, and he is currently an Adjunct Professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from New York University.
Joseph D. Bissell has taught computer engineering, including courses on C and C++, for over 15 years. Currently, he teaches computer architecture, assembly language and embedded systems at the University of Delaware. He was a key contributor to a forthcoming book entitled SPARC Assembly Language and C. His formal education is a bit non-traditional. He holds a Doctor of Dental Science (DDS) from Temple University, a Bachelor of Science in Physiology from University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University.
Rick Booth has worked for 22 years in performance computing areas. Currently, he does digital video production and delivery at Visible World in New York City. He wrote Inner Loops, a book on software optimization with case studies for Pentium® family of processors. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry from Princeton University.
