The SPARC is a RISC processor developed by Sun. The design was more or less released to the world, and it is currently produced by around a dozen different companies too numerous to even bother mentioning. It is worth noting that even computers made by Sun typically sport SPARCs made by other companies. A couple different OSes run on SPARC based machines, including Solaris, SunOS, and Linux. Some of the newer SPARC models are called UltraSPARCs.

A RISC ( educed nstruction et omputer) architecture developed by Sun Microsystems.

Short for Scalable Processor Architecture, a RISC technology developed by Sun Microsystems. The term SPARC® itself is a trademark of SPARC International, an independent organization that licenses the term to Sun for its use. Sun's workstations based on the SPARC include the SPARCstation, SPARserver, Ultra1, Ultra2 and SPARCcluster.

Scalable Processor Architecture with RISC CPU. SUN's trademark name for its line of RISC based processors.

Based on a a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) concept in which a microprocessor is designed for very efficient handling of a small set of instructions. (See http://www.sparc.com/.)

The name of the RISC chipset used by and licensed by Sun Microsystems.

(n.) Scalable Processor ARChitecture; a family of chips which can be manufactured using a variety of technologies, but still be compatible in some ways.

The CPU architecture devised by Sun Microsystems, and used in the company's high-end workstations and servers.

Scalable Processor Architecture. A proprietary technology for computer workstations developed by Sun Microsystems.

SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) is a RISC microprocessor instruction set architecture originally designed in 1985 by Sun Microsystems. SPARC is a registered trademark of SPARC International, Inc., an organization established in 1989 to promote the SPARC and to provide conformance testing. SPARC International was intended to open the SPARC architecture to make a larger ecosystem for the design, which has been licensed to several manufacturers, including Texas Instruments, Cypress Semiconductor, and Fujitsu.
