HyperSPARC

processor The successor to the SuperSPARC processor, based

on the SPARC ISA. The HyperSPARC has smaller caches

than the SuperSPARC: 8kb on-chip and 256kb off-chip

(compared with 36kb and 1Mb). The HyperSPARC's memorymanagement is optimised for more efficient out-of-cache

addressing which means quicker access to external (slower,

cheaper) memory.
