Other Activities
Apart from the Members' activities, Gelato funded a Central Operations (hosted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). Central Operations, in addition to running the twice-a-year meetings, tried to coordinate and manage a number of projects. These included:
- Gelato GCC on Itanium Workgroup, a group of members and sponsors of the Gelato Federation and the GCC community interested in improving GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) on Itanium processors.
- Vanilla, a concerted effort to port and tune software for Itanium. In addition to the actual tuned binaries, the tuning process was documented.
- Coconut, a system of access to Itanium machines for members.
- The Gelato System Grant program, which provided Itanium systems for members.
