For system designers and analysts, system software programmers, application developers, and technical managers.
Synopsis
Details the key features of PA-RISC that differentiates it from other RISC architectures: pathlength reduction features, integrated CPU features, and extendibility and longevity features.
Explains the "precision architecture" approach of PA-RISC that enables the implementation of PA-RISC machines that are significantly more efficient than competing RISC machines.
