Abstract: Sparcle is a processor chip developed jointly by MIT# LSI Logic# and SUN Microsystems# byevolving an existing RISC architecture towards a processor suited for large#scale multi# processors. Sparcle supports three multiprocessor mechanisms# fast context switching# fast# user#level message handling# and #ne#grain synchronization. The Sparcle e#ort demonstrates that RISC architectures coupled with a communications and memory management unit do not require major architectural changes to... (Update)
