Description
Summary:With SPARC, Sun Microsystems' RISC (reduced instructions set computer) high-speed processor, desktop workstations exceeded the capabilities of microcomputers. SPARC, which stands for Scalable Processor Architecture, has a unique design that makes it possible for a variety of SPARC implementation to run identical software. This breakthrough technology from Sun has changed the way workstations are developed. Instead of remaining a niche market for technical professionals, SPARC opens the way for all levels of computer users to benefit from technical improvements. In this book, Springer-Verlag has collected the most advanced work from the designers and implementors of SPARC tech- nology. System designers, computer scientists, and students of RISC technology will benefit from using this book.
