</TABLE>
(1) IA-64 LINUX KERNEL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN - This document describes the
algorithms and implementation details including the kernel definitions and
functions
*
(3) SHELL PROMPT - At this milestone the Linux kernel executes through
initialization on the IA-64 simulator and invokes the first user level
program which will be a statically combined sh binary. A minimal set of
devices are available, limited to "internal" devices such as a RAM disk and
whatever is needed to load a ram disk using the simulator. It also includes
basic commands and libraries needed to reach the prompt.
(4) SHELL PROMPT ON SDV - In this step the kernel and shell that have been
booted on the simulator are moved to a real hardware platform. Drivers for
a few physical devices or a boot loader may be necessary depending on the
details of the target platform.
(5) ADVANCED USER UTILITIES - These are utilities beyond what is necessarily
needed for system operation, e.g. emacs, gnu user utilities, mail, window
manger, bison, prof, X Server, Apache
(6) SIMPLE INSTALL - An easy way to clone a disk, for others to use for their
development
(7) IA-64 SELF-HOSTING - At this milestone the development tools have been
ported to the IA-64 platform. The kernel, GCC, BINUTILS, GLIBC, shell
assembler, linker and enough utilities all run on the IA 64 platform to
rebuild all the utilities on that platform. The development effort is now
self-hosting.
(8) SMP SUPPORT - At this milestone the kernel will be stable in multiprocessor
operation. Prior to this the development effort has been focused on
uniprocessor operation.
(9) IA-64 LINUX DEVELOPMENT RELEASE - A complete Linux distribution exists,
which passes the ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT RELEASE described in
this Exhibit C and that could be installed and used by third parties to
port other user level code and device drivers. This is traditionally and an
odd version number of the OS (e.g. 2.3)
(10) IA-64 LINUX PRODUCTION RELEASE - A fully validated Linux distribution
exists, which passes the ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR PRODUCTION RELEASE
described in this Exhibit C and which has been merged into the Linux
Standard Base otherwise known as production/stable release, available as a
distribution and is suitable for end users. This is traditionally an even
version number of the OS (e.g. 2.4) Comparable benchmarks with SpecWeb or
TPC-C or TPC-D should be demonstrated before this release.

# Delay on Intel deliverables shall not be deemed a breach of this agreement but
shall merely delay the succeeding milestones for Developer on a day-for-day
basis for each day of delay by Intel.
