Description

From University Video Communications' catalog:

"SPARC started as a 32-bit RISC (reduced instruction set architecture). This talk describes the evolution of SPARC to a full 64-bit architecture, and the design decisions that drove those changes. In addition to extending the address range, a number of changes were made to better support compilers, operating systems, superscalar implementations, context switching, and fault tolerant systems."
