Abstract

The IA-64 architecture has a rich set of features including control and data speculation, predication, large register files, and an advanced branch architecture, which allow the compiler to exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and optimize applications in many new ways. The Intel IA-64 compiler incorporates i) state-of-the-art optimization techniques known in the compiler community, ii) optimization techniques that are extended to exploit the resources and features in IA-64, and iii) new optimization techniques designed for IA-64.
