    In a stunning revelation from 2004, we learn that uninitialized garbage on #ia64 is dangerous—who would've guessed? 😱 The article then detours into a parade of Microsoft buzzwords, reminding us that tech jargon is the ultimate cure for #insomnia. 💤

    A nice account of how #Intel spent far too much time & money with #HP on the doomed #Itanium 64-bit #CPU, only to be beaten by #AMD with #Athlon (with help from #Microsoft):

    A question for chip gurus to explain (ie argue 😁) …

    Purely in architectural terms (ie ignore current success / adoption etc) - which is/was the best architecture: #x86 vs #ARM vs #RISCV vs #MIPS vs #SPARC vs #IA64 vs Alpha - and why? What pros/cons of each make the choice?

    Hey #Intel and other hashtags!

    What was your thoughts on #IntelItanium or #IA64 and what was your experience if you had any? I’ve not had any personal experience, but I’m curious to hear yours!

    Can’t wait to read!

    It's wild to me that we keep putrified architectures around in #Linux for that long in the first place. And then when we finally remove it people argue for them to be put back in.

    I really have a hard time understanding this.

    I had one of those ia64 servers at home for about a month which I actually picked up from someone in Berlin just to fscking test copy_thread() changes in 9ba27414f2ec

    And with that, aka /IA-64 support is gone from the :

    git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1e0c

    git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/cf8e (that's the main removal patch, which is about ~2 MByte big)

    Bye bye!

    #Linux 6.7 Set To Drop Support For #Itanium #IA64
    There is also a build fix so at least Linux 6.6, which is expected to be this year's Long Term Support (LTS) kernel release will at least have IA-64 support in good standing should anyone actually use it.

    A nearly 2 MByte big patch to remove () architecture support from the is now in -next and thus (for now) slated for 6.7:

    git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k

    Before it hit that tree, it was discussed on a week ago:

    Ard Biesheuvel posted an RFC patch series to remove the /#Itanium support from the :

    lore.kernel.org/all/2023021510

    ```The IA64 port of Linux has no maintainer, and according to a report from its only remaining user [0], it has been broken for a month and nobody cares.

    Given that keeping a complex but unused architecture alive uses up valuable developer bandwidth, let's just get rid of it. […] ```
