Itanium Porting

One of my major focuses in the upcoming weeks will be assisting with the port of a major user application to OpenVMS running on an Integrity server.

The developers are already building and running the application (at least the batch side) on an Itanium based system. As you would expect with a COBOL application, we are seeing lots of alignment faults. I've written a document today describing what alignment faults are and how to detect and fix them. The more privileged of you out there might like to look at Guy Peleg's article on the same subject that appeared in the Technical Journal.
