11. 6. APPLICATION FEATURE SPECIFICATION
[enter the information gathered from the DEVELOPER that will give the best
representation of the information required in the table below] The DEVELOPER
will optimize the following features with Katmai New Instructions: (Note: the
dates given below are probable full completion dates, and most will be ready for
basic testing using Katmai New Instructions before the dates given)
[*]
Include a brief description of the next steps. (Example: At the current time,
the DEVELOPER's team would like to perform all Katmai New Instruction
optimizations themselves. Intel will be expected to give a thorough review of
the code and suggest how and where Katmai New Instructions will be best used by
the code, before optimization is to begin. This should occur soon after the
development systems with Katmai New Instruction emulation are delivered. The use
of AE resources for actual coding will be reevaluated at a later time.)
List any other features not specific to Katmai New Instructions:

WEB LINKING REQUIREMENTS
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON WEB LINKS (SECTION 5.3.1)
