understanding EPIC

[Anton Shterenlikht]

I've been doing some reading on compilers
for ia64 EPIC (see my list below). I think
I'm starting to understand just how hard
it is to get a compiler to squeeze the most
of ia64.

I cannot find any paper on compiler
development for ia64 later than 2005.
Has anybody got a link to a later development?

Also, is Gelato (aka IMPACT, OpenIMPACT -
http://www.gelato.org, http://gelato.uiuc.edu) dead?

many thanks
anton
