Abstract :
A description is given of the implementation of the 32-bit RISC (reduced-instruction-set-computer)-based SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) microprocessor chip set MB86900 and MB86910 using a CMOS 20K gate array to meet a tight development schedule while achieving high performance with high degree of testability. MB86900 is the CPU and MB86910 is the floating-point controller. Although these components were implemented in a gate array, the performance exceeds that of most of the existing commercial full-custom microprocessors.<>
