Ah yes, nothing screams "cutting edge" like Windows XP on an #Itanium from 2002 🤯. Because, who doesn't love resurrecting ancient tech to watch it crawl in agony on your modern machine? 🐢💨 Spoiler alert: it's about as fun as watching paint dry, but with more crashes! 💥

I wish I could get my hands on an Itanium machine and run an OS on it that was written entirely for the architecture, one without any of the dreaded x86 emulation.

I really want to learn more about Itanium, EPIC, and VLIW.

Does anyone here have that kind of knowledge? If love to chat!

OSDEV: Itanium часть 2: One-time Construction API и сигнлтоны Майерса

Приветствую! В этой части мы рассмотрим что такое guard variables и как под капотом работают синглтоны Майерса. Цель конечно у меня другая, я просто обозреваю процесс разработки ОС и рассказываю какие задачи как и зачем я решаю. Но раз уж столкнулся с этим, то расскажу что понял :-D И так, стандарт начиная с С++11 гарантирует нам что локальные статические переменные инициализируются потокобезопасно. Но кто и как это обеспечивает? Это делает ABI. И все таки о чем же идет речь? Представьте себе что есть вот такая структура:

@vbabka @wagi @cainlee @ljs Man, I even contributed #Itanium assembly code to the kernel. When it was still a thing, that is.
But what good is knowing stuff that shouldn't be?

Yk all these recent exploits are a sad thing for itanium users cause now the latest Linux itsnium kernel has 2 huge vulnerabilities and I wish I could do something but well I don't actually own any itanium hardware wich is embarrassing.

#Intel: Shouldn't we just extend x86 into 64-bit?

Also Intel: No, let us waste $Billions restarting from scratch.
Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Today, we point and laugh at #Itanium:

I didn't realize that x86_64 went back that far. I'm guessing it was AMD-only at the time, as Intel was still thinking that #Itanium hung the moon. XD

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!

У VLIW длиннее x86: Itanium в шаге от величества, Эльбрус — подержите моё пиво, тайны PS2

Разбираем архитектуру VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word). Поговорим о предтечах, погрузимся в дух 1980-1990-х, узнаем, как Itanium стал Itanic’ом, как архитектура жила, живёт и будет жить. Ах да, будет про Эльбрус и даже PlayStation 2. Осторожно: текст большой, интересный и может заставить вас пересмотреть взгляды на процессорные архитектуры. Дропдаун

A reminder that Intel’s #x86 line (8086, 286, 386) was considered a stop-gap filler and not the focus of their engineering, *at all*: https://www.xtof.info/intel80386.html

Given any set of choices, #Intel always chose the worst possible one and squandered billions on over-engineered crap, failing upwards only by dint of the booming #PC market. Don’t forget that they truly believed that #Itanium would replace x86. They were utterly possessed of the assumption that the world would rewrite all its software just because they invented a new kind of ISA that wasn’t x86.

It is as if a dam broke in 2006. Huge architectural diversity before 2004, almost none after 2008.

🦾 Linux-ia64: Linux fork with IA-64 support re-added.

https://github.com/johnny-mnemonic/linux-ia64

#linux #kernel #itanium

Former #Intel engineer [and Pentium Pro architect] #RobertColwell details how internal #x86-64 efforts were suppressed prior to #AMD64's success because Intel was dead-set on x64-only #Itanium line. Unfortunately, this meant the pure 64-bit architecture of Intel Itanium did not allow 32-bit (x86) applications to run natively, and emulation solutions performed poorly. As a result, Itanium landed with a thud in the market despite being among the first to the 64-bit punch.

🦾 GCC 15 Un-Deprecates Itanium IA-64 Linux Support | @phoronix

｢ GCC 15 had planned to remove Itanium IA-64 support to close the book on that Intel architecture. That GCC move followed the Linux kernel removing Itanium support last year and more distributions ending Itanium support although many did so years ago. But open-source developer René Rebe stepped up and wants to maintain Itanium's IA-64 support in the GNU Compiler Collection ｣
