Tukwila is perhaps better-known as the code-name for a future generation of Intel's Itanium processor family following Itanium 2 (code-named "Madison") and "Montecito". While its features have not been publically disclosed in any real detail, it is said to utilize both multiple processor cores (sometimes called CMP) and SMT techniques. The engineers said to be working on this project are ones acquired from the DEC Alpha effort, the EV8 iteration of which was to be forcused on SMT.
Tukwila was previously code-named Tanglewood until late 2003 when someone--presumably the people who run the Tanglewood music festival--complained.
