Computers, such as those that use the Intel® Itanium™ processor,
cannot solve problems. They are simply machines and must be told
what to do. Programmers tell computers what to do by writing sets of
instructions known as computer programs or, simply, software.
This is not a book about how to program computers or the theory
of computer programming. This book is about the software used to
program computers configured with the Itanium™ processor. It is
about the programming languages used by such machines, and the
similarities and the differences in writing software for them. This
book presumes some minimal knowledge of computers and a
familiarity with at least one programming language, either C or
Fortran 90.
