HyperSPARC

HyperSPARC

(processor)The successor to the SuperSPARC processor, basedon the SPARC ISA. The HyperSPARC has smaller cachesthan the SuperSPARC: 8kb on-chip and 256kb off-chip(compared with 36kb and 1Mb). The HyperSPARC's memory management is optimised for more efficient out-of-cacheaddressing which means quicker access to external (slower,cheaper) memory.
