Abstract
Two key architectural features: predication and control speculation, will enable IA-64 compilers to extract instruction level parallelism. To show how compilers will use IA-64 instructions, the author uses code fragments from the pointer chasing problem, an inherently serial code, and from a nested loop with difficult to predict branches
