Paul, Re: "Intel Investors (You Too SCUMbria) - HP is Establishing IA-64 educational facilities - Hardware, software, and MONEY - at 4 US Universities ! Looks like the ITanium is headed to college already ! "Hewlett-Packard Company, the IA-64 leader, today announced that it will provide four universities with grants totaling more than $2 million in cash and equipment to fund the teaching of Explicitly Parallel Instruction-set Computing (EPIC). EPIC is the foundation for IA-64 (Intel Architecture-64 bit), a next-generation computer architecture developed jointly by HP and Intel. " This is the GOOD part : "Hewlett-Packard Company, the IA-64 leader" If what Sun Micro said yesterday is true, HP needs IA-64 to be a success at least as much as Intel does, probably more. Sun said they were taking market share from HP, have been saying that for a while. Also, they said IBM is "confused", as evidenced by their (IBM's) earnings report. Tony

Paul, RE:' Looks like the ITanium is headed to college already For full exploitation of EPIC next generation of software developers need to understand the communication between the CPU & compiler. The importance of this understanding is paramount to developing/exploiting the powers of EPIC. I am glad that HP has understood this, this will help in better/faster transition to IA-64. Not to mention the pool of new software developers coming out soon. We all know that how desperately we need them. mula
