Hello All,
Really thankful for your inputs!

I stopped the program on both amd64 machine and ia64 machine and
grepped the values from /proc/<>/status and found the following.
<----Linux IPF----------->
VmSize: 126304 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmRSS: 6352 kB
VmData: 19696 kB
VmStk: 16 kB
VmExe: 97760 kB
VmLib: 3152 kB
<------------------------>
<------AMD64------------->
VmSize: 100432 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmRSS: 2828 kB
VmData: 24428 kB
VmStk: 264 kB
VmExe: 62848 kB
VmLib: 3048 kB
<----------------------->
Seems like most of core size(VmSize) on ipf (126MB) is coming from the
code size(VmExe) i.e 97MB. While the code size is just 62MB on amd64.
Looks like IA-64 wastes a lot of VM due to big instruction sizes, so
big instruction sizes will improve performance ? compared small
instruction sizes? , but fetching big instructions surely takes time
compared to small, this may be the reason why amd64 is the fasttest
64-bit process ?
Thanks a lot!
