<Nobody knows how to write a compiler which can take advantage of IA-64's theoretical processing power.> You sure? I believe there is a lot of communication between compiler writers and Merced-land. <It is much simpler to write software which partitions the compute tasks at the granularity of the CPU. Attempting to multi-thread a single instruction stream for the APIC architecture, is a ridiculously complex problem.> Just as ridiculously complex as trying to squeeze out more ILP using a traditional out-of-order RISC-like architecture? Remember, it's always better to have one processor working twice as fast than to have two processors working at normal speed. Tenchusatsu
