What does IFP stand for?

As in:
PA-RISK or "IFP"

I think you may mean IPF, which I *think* means Itanium Processor Family, or something similar.

Actually, in a search I came across both IFP and IPF - they seem to be parts of the same thing.

Just needed to confirm that IFP (or IPF) is intel architecture.

I don't know what IPF exactly stands for, but
it is certainly something like "Itanium Platform (or Processor) Family". We are talking here about the new Itanium chip which can be used to run HP-UX (11.22 or 11.23, 11.23 is much better), Linux, Windows (don't know how official Linux and Windows support are yet). Itanium 1 machines have been out for a while already. Itanium 2 machines have been out for a while too now, they are considerably faster than Itanium 1 machines.

Check these links on the IPF architecture.
Hope this will answer your question.
