  • Abstract
    This paper describes the visual instruction set (VIS). This is a RISC-like extension to the SPARC V9 instruction set that provides core instructions that greatly enhance the graphics and image processing capabilities of SPARC processors. VIS´s first implementation is in the new UltraSPARC microprocessor.
