The purpose of this paper is to help software developers understand and take advantage of the unique features of the Intel Itanium 2 processor. As a co-developer of the Itanium architecture, and the leading developer of Itanium-based systems, HP has unique insight into the processor and system architecture. HP also has valuable experience porting and tuning applications for Itanium-based systems. This paper also discusses strategies and tools available for achieving the performance potential of the Itanium 2 processor running HP-UX. Most of the tuning strategies, and some of the tools, can be leveraged to other operating systems that run on the Itanium 2 processor.
