HPUX on Itanium
we currently run on HP PA-RISC servers. I'm wondering how much of a perfomance change(good or Bad) we will see when we port to the Itanium. I've been getting conflicting reports on how well Itaniums run 32-bit apps.
We currently aren't ready to port our app to 64-bit but most of our customers prefer HP hardware so we are looking at Itanium.
Thanks for any info or documents that could help me out.

Re: HPUX on Itanium
If I am not mistaken, you could even try to run your PA-RISC application unmodified on Itanium, using the ARIES emulation software. This way you can probably already get a performance idea without too much effort.
A native Itanium recompilation will give a much better performance of course.

Re: HPUX on Itanium
HP-UX provides support for native Itanium 32-bit binaries and they run just fine. There is no performance penalty for running a native 32-bit Itanium application under HP-UX.
The only wrinkle _might_ be if you link to Oracle libraries - make sure they provide native Itanium 32-bit versions.
Depending on how "clean" your applications are already the "port" to 64-bit might not be all that difficult. And given that 64-bit has been happening in HP-UX since 1997, it might not be a bad idea to get started :) There are some options to the HP compilers to get them to emit 64-bit migration warnings. That would be a good starting point I would think.

Re: HPUX on Itanium
But recompile your 32bit apps on Itanium and yes, you'll see a dramatic increase in performance over PARISC, especially compared to pre-8800 PARISC processors.

Re: HP-UX on Integrity
The difference between +DD32 (the default) and +DD64 is composed of two parts. Using +DD32 causes extra addp4 instructions, possibly increasing instruction cache/TLB. Using +DD64 causes your longs and pointers to double in size, causing data cache/TLB issues.
In most cases, the increase in data size will cause +DD64 to be slower.

This is +w64bit. Or on PA, +M2.
