Appendix E

SPARC-V9 Instruction Set

This appendix describes changes made to the SPARC instruction set due to the SPARC-V9 architecture. Application software for the 32-bit SPARC-V8 (Version8) architecture can execute, unchanged, on SPARC-V9 systems.

This appendix is organized into the following sections:
