I have only one available ia64 machine (Montecito) but it is used for 
development.

I have a ppc machine which IBM kindly sent me.  But now it is actively 
used for my register allocation project.  May be in a few months, I 
could start to use it.

Diego run all tests only once therefore it was natural to use available 
machines over nights.  Some machines were preproduction ones.  I don't 
think it has a sence to run the tests once (because the result is 
inaccurate in this case) and to use the preproduction machines (I think 
we should be oriented to new processors).  So it is hard to resume 
testing all machines which Diego used.

Gerald is pretty good at updating html pages.  But ok, I'll do it.
