PARISC and Itanium II

[j773303]

Does anyone knows what is the difference of the "floating algorithm method" between PARISC and Itanium II? Any documents describe it? Thanks.

There're 2 options for Fortran that's "big endin" and "little endin" ? Does anyone has the experience about how to set it while compile in Itanium II CPU?

HP-UX works in big endian mode.
