@Praveen, "AMD64" is "x64" so, no, you can't run it on IA64 either.

Heath,

"So, no, you can't run IA64 binaries on an x64 machine, or vice versa." - is this same in case of AMD64 also?

Ming,

IA64 and x64 (the latter encompasses AMD64 from AMD and EM64T from Intel, currently) are different instruction sets. IA64 is very different from x86, while x64 - sometimes referred to as x86-64 - is extensions to the x86 instruction set, which allows 32-bit code to run natively by flipping a switch in the CPU to run 32-bit code, then again to run 64-bit code.

On IA64 an emulator is necessary to run 32-bit code.

So, no, you can't run IA64 binaries on an x64 machine, or vice versa. You certainly can't run either on x86 because of how 64-bit binaries are compiled and, in many cases, linked against 64-bit entry points that wouldn't exist in x86 binaries.

Are x86 and ia64 and x64 so-called ISA?

Are x86 and ia64 and x64 so-called Instruction Set Architectures (aka macroarchitectures)?
I would imagine IA-64 and AMD64 (and EM64T?) instructions have 64 bits; but are they compatible with each other? That is, if I have a IA-64 binaries, can I run it on an AMD64 machines, and vice versa? The artcile talks about the whether/how these 64-bit "platforms" can run 32-bit applications, but does not discuss whether/how they run 64-bit apps that are created under 64-bit platforms other than itself.
