If you can describe the IA-64/Merced at assembly language and hardware
level,
such as
-- the lexical and syntactical structure of the assembly language used,
-- the hardware resources(say register, memories, functional units etc),
...
in the environment SALTO(a retargetable System for Assembly Language
Transformation and Optimization,
http://www.irisa.fr/caps/PROJECTS/Salto/),
which has already offered several desciption examples for realistic
architectures(Sparc, TM1000(VLIW), etc),
then the compiler back-ends can handle the local and global optimization
(even Software pipelining) provided in SALTO. Ofcource,
the compilers can also implement theirs own optimizing algorithms with
the support of SALTO.
