| | SPARC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | SPARC machines are generally synonymous with Solaris, the operating system (OS) from Sun designed for SPARC. | | | Among various implementations of SPARC, Sun's SuperSPARC and UltraSPARC-I were very popular, so as to be used as reference systems for SPEC CPU95 and CPU2000 benchmarks. | | | The most substantial upgrade resulted in version 9, which is a 64-bit (addressing and data) SPARC specification. |

| | SPARC Instruction Types |
| | The SPARC also adds an instruction to the Format 2 instructions called sethi that is similar to the MIPS lui instruction. | | | Both the MIPS machine and the SPARC machine use instructions that are thirty-two bits long. | | | On the SPARC they are called Format 1, Format 2 and Format 3 instructions. |

| | SPARC-HOWTO. |
| | The SPARC family of microprocessors is a very good implementation of the RISC design and SPARC based computing devices cover a very wide spectrum of applications, from mainframe class computers to radhard microprocessors used by the aerospace industry in its space segment. | | | SPARC computers have an Openboot, it may seem to be like your BIOS, but it is actually far more powerfull. | | | SPARC based computers are usually very well engineered products, thus Linux on SPARC is a winning combination both in performance and ease of use. |

| | SPARC: Background |
| | The SPARC environment initially consisted of the Collaboratory Builder's Environment, which was initially launched using NextStep but then rewritten in Java. | | | For example, by serving as a laboratory for testing quick, informative evaluation strategies, SPARC has given behavioral scientists data to help them select and apply evaluation methodologies that can be used throughout the field of human-centered design. | | | In SPARC, Michigan has assembled a core team of computer scientists, space scientists, and behavioral scientists who have accumulated more than 50 person-years of experience with this iterative approach to designing collaborative systems. |

| | OpenBSD/sparc runs on most of the 32bit Sun SPARC workstations, including the sun4, sun4c, and sun4m architecture families (but not the 64bit UltraSPARC computers, which are supported by OpenBSD/sparc64). | | | Most of the problems with OpenBSD/sparc are believed to stem from the wide variety of SPARC processor and cache implementations along with their undocumented bugs, rather than general kernel problems. | | | There are several installation media provided, so that OpenBSD/sparc can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on sun4c and sun4m, miniroot images for machines without floppies (and sun4 machines), as well as network and diskless installs. |

| | However, be aware that most modern SPARC implementations do have separate instruction and data caches, and that a write to a location cached in the instruction cache (for example when overwriting a code vector with a breakpoint instruction) may need to be followed by the appropriate number of IFLUSH instructions. | | | On SPARC version 9, a conditional move instruction can be used. | | | The optimizations currently performed are: copy avoidance, boolean evaluation for control, allocation optimization, and nontail-call optimization. |

| | On SPARC systems GCC will produces binaries for V7-based binaries by default, just as GCC produces binaries based on the i386 instruction set on the x86 platform, by default. | | | While many are familiar with GCC compiler optimizations for the x86 platform, there are naturally differences for GCC on SPARC, and some platform-specific issues to keep in mind. | | | And as it turns out, the SPARC platform has characteristics that further benefit from optimization, often more dramatically than x86. |
