This book is an authoritative and full-length description of the IA-64 version of the Linux kernal. IA-64 is a high-performance microprocessor architecture co-designed by HP and Intel. The titanium chip is the first implementation of this new architecture. Intel already has outlined a roadmap of several chips to follow, such as the more powerful McKinley and Deerfield implementations. To emphasize the longevity of this book, as well as the Linux kernal it describes, it focuses on the IA-64 architecture rather than specific implementations, such as Itanium or McKinley.

DAVID MOSBERGER is a Senior Research Scientist at HP Labs. In early 1998, he founded the project to bring Linux to the IA-64 platform, later developing the first IA-64 version of the GNU C compiler and GNU toolchain. He has been serving as lead architect, developer, and gatekeeper of the IA-64 Linux kernel source code.
STÉPHANE ERANIAN is a Senior Research Scientist at HP Labs. He has been working on the port of Linux to the IA-64 platform since late 1998. He is main architect of the kernel performance monitoring subsystem, and architect and maintainer of the Linux/IA-64 elilo boot loader.
The authoritative guide to the IA-64 Linux kernel implementation.
The IA-64 architecture and Itanium processors are designed to offer unprecedented levels of performance, expandability, and reliabilityand with the delivery of the IA-64 Linux kernel, that power is now accessible to every Linux developer. In this authoritative book, the IA-64 Linux kernel project's leaders take you "under the hood" with Linux for IA-64, demonstrating exactly how it makes the most of the IA-64's breakthrough capabilities.
They begin by introducing the IA-64 architecture, instruction set, and key features. Next, they cover every major Linux kernel subsystem in unprecedented detail, presenting the interfaces used by Linux to abstract hardware differences and showing how these interfaces have been realized in the IA-64 environment. Coverage includes:
This book not only focuses on the ideas and concepts you need to work with this radically innovative architecture: it illuminates the key issues associated with Linux kernel operation on any platform, existing or new.
