from the Itanium™ processor family
 Compaq and Intel are working together
– Common, compatible compilers and development tools
– Enhancements and future versions of the architecture
– Partners and ISVs programs
 Compaq is fully committed
– Supporting and delivering the Alpha product roadmaps
– Aggressively porting the NonStop™ Kernel, OpenVMS™
and Tru64 UNIX™ products to the Itanium processor
family
– Supporting its customers, ISVs and partners porting to the
Itanium processor family

Wildcat Themes and Goals
 FRS target Q2/Q3CY02
 Supports Marvel product roll-out and existing Alpha
family
 Ships 3 to 6 months before the EV7 platforms to
enable ISVs
 Platform support will require minor hardware updates
11
Tru64 UNIX™ Compiler and Tools Strategy for
the Itanium™ Processor Family
 Core tools
– C, C++ and Fortran compilers being developed by Compaq and
Intel
 Based on Intel’s compilers with source compatibility and
feature enhancements by both Compaq and Intel
– Intel assembler
– Compaq Java
– Linker, loader and object module management tools
– Debugger, math libraries and profiling tools being developed by
Compaq and Intel
 Ladebug port with enhancements for kernel debugging and
dbx compatibility
 Compatible and high-performance math libraries
 Rich set of profiling and performance analysis tools
12
Tru64 UNIX™ Compiler and Tools Strategy for
the Itanium™ Processor Family -- continued
 ISV and Partner products to complete portfolio
– Examples
 Cobol and Ada compilers
 Customer and market specific tools
– And, lots more too…
13
Compatibility and porting considerations
 Aggressive, multi-level support and porting programs for early
adopters, ISVs and partners
– Beta in advance of release, hardware loan and discount,
expansion of ISV engineering support, integrated ISV support
programs
 As part of Linux and Tru64 UNIX™ Affinity Program, we’ve expanded
our focus to evaluate
– Using Linux on Compaq systems as a development desktops
 Easier development and deployment solution
 Common compilers and tools developed by Intel and Compaq on
both Alpha and Intel
– Source, header files and run-time libraries and binary
compatibility between Linux and Tru64 UNIX on the Itanium™
processor family
