JDN, when Itaniums aren't running Solaris, maybe they'll give Sun a run for their money with these HP configurations. It's going to be interesting, even Scottie is going to have to admit someday.
HP will deliver time-to-market Itanium systems supporting HP-UX, NT-64 and
Linux. IA-64-ready HP-UX 11, which was released in 1997, is shipping today on
HP's PA-RISC2-based HP 9000 V-Class, N-Class and L-Class Enterprise
Servers and HP's VISUALIZE workstation family.

HEWLETT-PACKARD: HP illustrates Itanium expertise and
commitment to IA-64 at Intel's Developer Forum: HP
showcases technical applications running on HP VISUALIZE
Workstations and HP 9000 Servers based on Intel's Itanium
Processor

FEB 14, 2000, M2 Communications - Palo Alto, Calif -- Hewlett-Packard
Company today announced it will highlight its IA-64 leadership through a series of
demonstrations and technical presentations this week at the Intel Developer Forum
(IDF), which takes place in Palm Springs, Calif., Feb. 15 through 17.
HP and Intel were exclusive partners in the development of EPIC, the technology
foundation for IA-64, and therefore have an unmatched understanding of how to
optimize software and system architectures to take full advantage of the computing
power that IA-64 offers.
This system-level optimization will give HP's customers enhanced performance on
IA-64-based systems.
Highlights of HP IA-64 activities this week at IDF include the following:
Linux-on-Itanium Server and Workstation Demonstrations HP will showcase its
IA-64 superiority by demonstrating applications from partners Synopsys and
MSC.Software Corporation on HP's workstations and servers based on Intel's
prototype Itanium processor. HP's enterprise server demonstration will include
Trillian Linux-on-IA-64 running the Synopsys EDA software application. Synopsys
software is used by leading electronics companies to verify complex
system-on-chip and ASIC devices. HP VISUALIZE workstations will be used to
demonstrate MSC.Software's Marc software, which are advanced 3-D
mechanical-analysis solutions for computer-aided engineering used by leading
automotive and aerospace companies.
This demonstration follows HP's successful demonstration of binary and data
compatibility using Oracle8i, the leading enterprise database application, running
on HP-UX1 and an Itanium-based server at Oracle OpenWorld in November. This
reinforces HP's commitment to offering HP-UX, NT-64 and Linux on its IA-64
servers and workstations.
Unveiling the IA-64 Architecture for System Software Jerry Huck, EPIC project
manager and lead architect at HP Labs, together with Rumi Zahir of Intel, will
provide the first public details on the IA-64 architecture for system software.
Information necessary to developing an OS on IA-64 will be revealed.
Using the IA-64 Linux Kernel David Mosberger of HP Labs, together with VA Linux,
will present enhancements needed for the Linux IA-64 kernel. Mosberger is the
primary HP architect who contributed to the Linux kernel for the Trillian group. The
future direction of the Trillian project, as well as status of contributions made by
other Trillian team members, also will be discussed.
HP will deliver time-to-market Itanium systems supporting HP-UX, NT-64 and
Linux. IA-64-ready HP-UX 11, which was released in 1997, is shipping today on
HP's PA-RISC2-based HP 9000 V-Class, N-Class and L-Class Enterprise
Servers and HP's VISUALIZE workstation family.
