That's fair. I have never worked with them, so I don't know the precise details; but one of the big complaints I've heard was that compilers weren't ready for them yet, while these days there's now a larger field of open source compilers and has been a lot more research in parallelism.
- jasonwatkinspdx 9y ago> compilers weren't ready for them yet Yeah, compilers today are no better. We found the limits of statically scheduled parallelism pretty fast. On code that uses static scheduling, a modern OoO processor can easily duplicate what IA64 was capable of (and a pipelined loop using AVX will utterly smoke it), while being far better at all the stuff IA64 failed at.
