  HyperSPARC
       
           The successor to the {SuperSPARC} processor, based
          on the {SPARC} {ISA}.  The HyperSPARC has smaller {caches}
          than the {SuperSPARC}: 8kb on-chip and 256kb off-chip
          (compared with 36kb and 1Mb).  The HyperSPARC's {memory


          management} is optimised for more efficient out-of-cache
          addressing which means quicker access to external (slower,
          cheaper) memory.
