SCUMbria - Re: "This sounds like a debilitating amount of baggage for Merced. From a software developers point of view, it appears good- but for the CPU designers it is a nightmare." Not anymore. The design is done and tape-out will be done very soon. Re :" These features of the IA64 architecture are very compelling! As compilers become more sophisticated, the large register set will provide a nice speedup for some special purpose applications" Wouuldn't it be a bummer if all the software guys started working on Merced instead of optimizing their older stuff to run "acceptably" on the K7 ? That would be a shame. Paul
