While the Itanium kernel is a 64-bit kernel, _both_ 32-bit and 64-bit user code can be run without problem. For that matter, you can run PA-RISC 32-bit or PA-RISC 64-bit code on an Itanium server thanks to the intrisic Aries emulator. See the 'Aries(5)' manpages for more information.

Re: os bit
The developer should know that the OS is 64-bit only nowadays. However, not all applications have made that jump, unfortunately.
The Itanium and Itanium-32 **could** refer to the application and how it was compiled.
The application patches shouldn't care about the OS, but rather whether or not the app is 32 or 64 bit.

Re: os bit
#getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS
to check whether the CPU is capable of 32 or 64.
Thanks

Re: os bit
I think when you are using ia64 that means your os will be 64 bits.
or you can use this also
#getconf KERNEL_BITS
is the command to know os bit.

Re: os bit
(Yes, black. :-)
Actually it isn't the kernel but the hardware is always 64 bit. All 32 bit applications are still running in 64 bit mode. It is software magic that allows a 32 bit application to work.
PA-RISC has a special hardware mode that does either 32 or 64 bit and changes what some instructions do.
