Introduction
TheItaniumArchitecture64(IA-64)isa64-bitreducedinstructionsetcomputer(RISC)instructionsetarchitecture(ISA)developedbyIntelandHP.Thisarchitectureintroducedseveralnewfeaturesandinstructionsets,includingtherotatingregistermechanism,whichenablesefficienthandlingofregistervaluesduringinstructionexecution.ThispaperaimstodiscusstherotatingregistermechanismusedintheIA-64binarytranslationandthebenefitsitprovidesforapplicationexecutioninIA-64-basedsystems.
