Recently three sites joined the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) by providing Intel Itanium 2 (IA64) processors as nodes. The sites are HP Puerto Rico, HP Labs Bristol and the Poznan Supercomputing & Networking Center. According to the LCG information system these sites make up a total of around 310 CPUs. They are the first 64bit nodes in LCG. Openlab in collaboration with CERN's LCG Deployment team provides an IA64 version of the LCG middleware.
