IA-64 for High Performance Databases

• Number of branches in large server apps overwhelm traditional processors

  • IA-64 predication removes branches, avoids mispredicts

• Environments with a large number of users require high performance

  • IA-64 uses speculation to reduce impact of memory latency
    • Significant benefit to large databases with many cache accesses
