The UltraSPARC Architecture 2007 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 2007 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 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.
The Hyperprivileged edition of this document 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.
