The itanium system in netherlands which soon will be a 416 processor aster 3000 system from SGI (right now just 64 processors are there) runs linux and has a intel c++ 7.0 version at it and a gcc 3.0.4 at my request (i had requested 3.3 actually but i gotta compile that myself on the machine to use it). So i have no idea how good nalimov's compiler is but i bet very few on the planet will ever use it. By the time they release it, the itanium platform is perhaps already replaced. The only itanium systems that will be there quite a while will be supercomputer systems. Usually they run linux a look like OSes and not windows. Just like windows, linux also has a 64 processor limit. So that means that this 416 processor supercomputer also is divided into 64 and 32 processor partitions. The only thing that i can check is the intel c++ compiler of course. According to SGI that is created by both intel specialists and especially SGI compiler specialists. This is the litterary statement from the SGI spokesman at the Altix3000 presentation. So using that statement, nalimov has zero chance to have been working on an intel c++ version of the itanium compiler either :) > >I once got my first copy of the MS C compiler with the Windows 1.0 beta.
