OutlineOutline  Introduction  Strategy and plans  OpenVMS compilers and tools  Key differences between Alpha and Itanium™ processor family  Moving your application to Itanium™ processor family  Q & A

TerminologyTerminology  IA-64 Intel® processor architecture  Itanium™ processor family - Family of microprocessors that implement IA-64  Itanium Specific member of the family

Strategic Compaq OpenVMS actions  Announced the alignment of all 64-bit enterprise servers on Intel® Itanium™ processor family architecture microprocessor  Long-term collaborative technology/marketing agreement with Intel®  Full port of OpenVMS to new Intel® architecture –If you’re on Alpha, you’re a recompile and requal “away” from being on Itanium™ processor family  Enhanced server roadmaps for OpenVMS, NonStop™ Himalaya, Linux, Tru64 UNIX, and Windows customers –Alpha EV6 speedups and EV7 Marvel program –New NonStop™ Himalaya speedups

Compiler plans (1 of 2)  C/C++ –CPQ C  Looks just like today’s Compaq C (DEC C)  Recompile/relink/requal –CPQ I?? C/C++  Intel® based C/C++  C/C++ decision based on file type or switch  Will include some features from Compaq C  Compiler for moving forward  COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL, BLISS, Java –Itanium™ processor family versions of Compaq compilers

Compiler plans (2 of 2)  Fortran –Intel® based Fortran  IMACRO –Tool to emulate or convert Macro-32 and AMacro code to Itanium™ processor family instructions –Will provide support for Macro-32 (VAX) and Macro (mixed VAX and Alpha) as well as some Itanium™ processor family instructions specific to OpenVMS architectural needs  ADA –We will provide an Ada compiler

Development tools  DECset development tools –PCA may not be available for the H release  OpenVMS Debugger  Binary translator –There will be a binary translator to translate Alpha images to Itanium™ processor family images –Translation of VAX images is being considered –We do not support translated images that dynamically create/call code –Tell us what you need  Compaq Services will be prepared to ???

So, what’s different? (1 of 3)  Calling Standard –Intel® calling standard with OpenVMS modifications  Still being designed –All Compaq provided tools will “know” about these changes –Your code that “knows” about the standard may have to change  Most code not affected

So, what’s different? (2 of 3)  Object file format –ELF/DWARF industry standard  ELF - Executable and Linkable Format, IA-64 object code, images, etc.  DWARF - Debugging and traceback information (embeded in ELF). –All Compaq provided tools will “know” about these changes –User written code that “knows” the object file format may have to change –Image header “tricks” may no longer work (Flip a bit to turn on/off debugging)

So, what’s different? (3 of 3)  Floating point data types –Itanium™ processor family supports IEEE float only –All compilers should be able to deal with F, D, G, S, T, and X (S and T are native IEEE formats) –Document forthcoming with details –Tell us what you need  Licensing –We’re investigating the use of FlexLM  We need your ???

What code will I need to change?  Architecture Specific code –Assembler code  Build command files –$ if.not. Alpha ! Assumes VAX  Alpha specific compiler built-ins may have to be recoded

What can I do today?  Examine your code for known differences and architecture dependencies  If you’re using /STANDARD=VAXC to compile your C code today try using /STANDARD=RELAXED_ANSI89 to see what pops out –Will not be an issue for Compaq C but may be an issue for I?? C/C++  Tell us now what concerns you about moving to Itanium™ processor family –Are there tools I haven’t mentioned?  Tell us what /VAXC extensions you want in I?? ???

How to contact us  I’m here all week   for /VAXC extensions ???
