power the future: Itanium®-based workstations   Full Article

The Intel® Itanium® processor raises the bar on workstation performance and capabilities by delivering the performance required by memory and floating-point intensive applications. The Itanium architecture marks a new era for Enterprise Computing and Technical Applications with its combination of Explicitly Parallel Instruction Processing (EPIC) technology and 64-bit computational capabilities. Itanium-based systems will drive application performance in areas such as digital content creation (DCC), financial modeling, business intelligence, scientific and medical data analysis and mechanical computer aided engineering (MCAE). Among the key advantages surrounding Itanium:

  • Performance: Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) enables Itanium processors to simultaneously process multiple instructions at once to greatly boost performance. Large memory support improves performance and eases resource-intensive workloads on very large projects.
  • Investment Protection: Broad industry commitment combined with IA-32 instruction binary compatibility in hardware provides increased investment protection. Itanium systems deliver scalability through large memory support, high SMP configurations, and high memory and I/O bandwidth.
  • Manageability: IT departments can avoid costly multi-platform deployments while enabling network-based collaboration for higher productivity by standardizing on IA-based systems.
  • Choice: More than 400 applications are being written for the Itanium processor. Companies can also select from several leading system vendors and enterprise-class operating systems, including Microsoft Windows* XP 64-bit Edition, HP-UX* 11i v1.5, Linux*, and AIX-5L*.

Together, these benefits make the Itanium processor a compelling solution for the most demanding workstation tasks.
