Porting Linux Applications to 64-Bit Intel® Architecture

Overview As Linux has gained mainstream respectability, it is being used to deploy more and more mission-critical applications.

This document explains the relationship between Linux and IA-32 processors, while explaining how to take advantage of the performance and scalability offered by the 64-bit Intel® Itanium® 2 processor.
