Introduction High-performance transaction-processing and scientific applications have long run on 64-bit servers based on proprietary processor architectures and specialized operating systems. Only recently has 64-bit computing come to Windows-compatible servers based on open processor architectures such as IA64. Today, with 2000 applications already available, the software ecosystem around Windows on IA64 has taken root and is beginning to sprout.

DDK on either the development machine (x86/x64) or the target machine (IA64). You can debug on the IA64 machine using the free WinDbg. This option is only as expensive as the IDE you buy. Or, you could code, compile, and debug from the command line on IA64 without spending a cent on development tools. The rest of this paper describes each development tool in detail. Microsoft VisualStudio VisualStudio is Microsoft’s flagship software development environment.

Microsoft Windows Driver Development Kit (DDK) Microsoft Windows DDK, intended for developing Windows kernel-mode drivers, is a command-line interface and includes a compiler, linker, and everything needed to build a driver. DDK also includes everything needed to build almost any type of user-mode executable or dynamic link library. DDK is fully functional and runs natively on IA64. DDK also supports cross-compilation from other targets (for example, you can build on x86 for the IA64 target and vice versa).

Advantages: Different optimization capabilities Native Itanium/IA64 builds Disadvantages: No native GUI support Debug Tools Windows Integrity developers have a choice of two debug utilities: • Visual Studio contains an integrated debugger but the VisualStudio IDE does not run natively on IA64. VisualStudio Team packages include a new feature called Remote Debugger, which allows for remote execution of the debugger with respect to the debug target.
PAGE 6
After you copy these files, start the remote debugger on the IA64 target by running “msvcmon.exe”. This displays a GUI interface for the Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor. We recommend running in Using Native – No Authentication initially to allow all debugging users to connect. Although this is an unsecured option, it is a good initial choice to avoid domain and local security policy issues. You can set this under the Tools->Options menu from the Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor.

Note also that neither Analysis Services nor SSIS are aware of the NUMA memory architecture used by Itanium. There can be memory contention with large application deployment and debugging when using these services on large cellular Integrity platforms.
