Terminology
The following definitions are for terms related to the Itanium architecture and will be
used throughout this document:
Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) –
Defines application and system level
resources. These resources include instructions and registers.
Itanium Architecture
– The new ISA with 64-bit instruction capabilities, new
performance- enhancing features, and support for the IA-32 instruction set.
IA-32 Architecture –
The 32-bit and 16-bit Intel architecture as described in the
Intel
®
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual
.
Itanium System Environment –
The operating system environment that supports
the execution of both IA-32 and Itanium architecture-based code.
IA-32 System Environment –
The operating system privileged environment and
resources as defined by the
Intel Architecture Software Developer’s Manual
. Resources
include virtual paging, control registers, debugging, performance monitoring, machine
checks, and the set of privileged instructions.
Itanium
®
Architecture-based Firmware –
The Processor Abstraction Layer (PAL)
and System Abstraction Layer (SAL).
Processor Abstraction Layer (PAL) –
The firmware layer which abstracts processor
features that are implementation dependent.
System Abstraction Layer (SAL) –
The firmware layer which abstracts system
features that are implementation dependent.
