Sparcstations: A Guide for Compiler Writers

[Bruce Allen]

I enjoyed your summary of machine-level instruction speeds.  I have a
question regarding cache size on the SS2.  According to the Sun Observer,
December 1990, page 1, "The SS2 also uses Cypress' 16K x 16 Cache Storage
Unit (the CY7C157)".  However according to Sun's US Price list (November
5, 1990, page 31) the SS2 features "64 Kbyte Write- Through Cache".  Are
these two statements inconsistent (16K x 16 =  256K)?  If so, who is
correct?  If not, why are they the same?
