All,

The latest SDM rev 2.1 for Itanium is available in Intel's web-site
(http://developer.intel.com/design/itanium/family/, then click on "Software
Specifications" in the left-hand bar). This version includes the 3 new
instructions:
- atomic ops (16 byte compare and exchange)
- fc.i (flush cache with instruction cache coherent form)
- hint (performance hint)

Thanks,
Asit
