Arun K Thiagrajan talks about how one can incorporate Intel's Itanium processor in their products. Posted by: Margaret Rouse WhatIs.com Itanium is Intel's first microprocessor that is based on the 64-bit architecture known as IA-64 . Developed under the code name of Merced , Itanium and its underlying architecture are expected to provide a foundation for the next-generation of software for the server and high-end workstation markets. Intel plans to follow Itanium with additional IA-64 microprocessors, which have the code names of McKinley, Madison, and Deerfield. In addition to supporting a 64-bit processor bus and a set of 28 register s, the 64-bit design allows access to a very large memory (VLM). In addition, the architecture exploits features in Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computin
