[comp.arch] Info. on SPARC

malik@ut-emx.UUCP (Boyd Merworth) (05/04/88)

I am trying to find some data on the SPARC architecture. I am most interested
in the support for tagged operations, if there are any. Also, any references
to benchmarks would be appreciated. I believe Motorola did some comparisons
of their 88000 with SPARC. Does anyone have a phone number of Motorola I can
call to request these comparisons?

Thanks in advance.

If you are a Sun customer or prospective customer, you can probably get
them to give you a copy of the SPARC Architecture Manual.  Also, Fujitsu and
Cypress have their own versions, specific to their implementations.

The SPARC manual is also available from my company for $25:
