The UltraSPARC Architecture 2005 is a complete specification of the instruction
set architecture (ISA) common to Sun Microsystem's 64-bit SPARC implementations
(beginning with UltraSPARC T1 in 2005). UltraSPARC Architecture 2005 complies
with SPARC V9 Level 1, with many more details, plus includes numerous Sun
extensions common to all UltraSPARC processors. Information in this (and the following)
documents can help with Operating Systems ports (including Linux).
The Privileged edition of this document (554 pages) describes the full
Nonprivileged (application software) and Privileged (operating system
software) levels of the architecture. Download it if you are writing
application software, writing a code generator, or writing/porting
operating system software to run on top of existing Hypervisor firmware
(such as on a SunFire T1000 or T2000 system).
The Hyperprivileged edition of this document (678 pages) describes the
Nonprivileged, Privileged, and Hyperprivileged (hypervisor/virtual machine
firmware) levels of the architecture. Download it if you are writing
hyperprivileged firmware ("Hypervisor" code) or designing your own
processor based on OpenSPARC.
