Joseph,

there is an indications that (future ?) IA-64 chips will support OOO execution?

That would be typical of Intel these days. They couldn't decide if P4 should be a high MHz or a high IPC machine, so they compromised and got a mediocre mix of both.

Now they can't decide if IA-64 should be VLIW or RISC, and will probably come up with another bad compromise.

Joseph, I have no comments on Itanium's "dispersal rules."

As for the possibility that future IA-64 implementations can have OOO execution, this is only a possibility, not necessarily a done deal. I know that Intel has done studies on adding OOO to IA-64, and they've found some benefits, some costs, and some risks involved. Whether a future IA-64 processor will be OOO or not, I don't know.
