  • Abstract
    Important features and capabilities of the 80960 are briefly examined, and an overview of its architecture is given. A detached discussion is presented of the register model, core instruction set, register operations, memory operations, control operations instruction cache, user-supervisor protection, interrupts, faults, and debug support.<>
