As some of you perhaps remember, I was engaged to look at another port to IA64 a while ago. I haven't been much engaged with this process in recent times, as I've been waiting for the developers to fix some rather important modules that failed to compile initially.
As of yesterday, all the source compiles on both platforms, and I have the programmers looking at uninitialized decimal data issues at present.
Once the system tests out functionally, I'm sure I'll get called back in to look at the performance issues that inevitably seem to arise in Alpha to IA64 ports.
