IEEE Std 1754-1994 "A 32-Bit Microprocessor Architecture". The IEEE standard defining a version of the SPARCmicroprocessor architecture. The P1754 standard (the first microprocessor standard) was approved after four years on 1994-03-17. It is compatible with, but distinct from, SPARC International' s 32 bit version of the SPARC Architecture, SPARC V8, from which it is largely derived. It is possible for a processor to comply with neither, one, or both specifications. {SI article (http://www.sparc.com/sparc.new/other/sflash/94-03.html)}. (1996-12-21)
