This is the definitive reference for the latest generation of the enormously popular and influential SPARC microprocessors — the 64-bit SPARC-V9 — which is now being used by a variety of computer system vendors and is destined to set the standard for high performance capacity into the next century. Describes the architecture and instruction set of the 64-bit SPARC-V9 — a RISC-style processor architecture that supports a linear address space accessed by 64-bit addresses, fault-tolerance, object-oriented software, lightweight threads, and superscalar and multiprocessor implementations. MARKETS: For implementors of the SPARC architecture, microprocessor designers, hardware engineers, developers of SPARC-V9 system software, software engineers who write SPARC-V9 software in assembly language; and for students of computer architecture.

Must have reference...,

This review is from: SPARC Architecture Manual Version9 (Paperback)
If you're doing any serious machine programming of the SPARC architecture you need this book. The book is about 350 pages - the first half of which is an overview of the architecture itself (starting with general SPARC stuff, moving into detailed coverage of registers, instructions, traps, and memory access), the second half of which is a detailed opcode reference.Not exactly nightstand reading, but it gets the job done quickly and efficiently. I was a little bummed that the physical format of the book didn't aid the reader in using it as a reference, since that's obviously what it's going to be used for 99% of the time. For instance, dark tabs on the pages to identify the sections of the book would have been helpful.

This review is from: SPARC Architecture Manual Version9 (Paperback)
Well, its the SPARCv9 manual. There's not much else to say. I rather liked the discussion of memory ordering. I thought Table 13 was useful. Elizabeth really should have take a liking to Darcy a little earlier to make the story flow, but when she pulled out that fcmpe32 at the end, the finale was still enjoyable.
