Commemorating the IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing for the SPARC RISC Architecture Plaque Dedication
Come celebrate the IEEE Milestone Award event recognizing the technological achievement of the SPARC RISC Architecture signifying innovation and excellence, with David Patterson and Prof Howard Michel, President of IEEE.
Sun Microsystems introduced SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) RISC (Reduced Instruction-Set Computing) in 1987. Building upon UC Berkeley RISC and Sun compiler and operating system developments, SPARC architecture was highly adaptable to evolving semiconductor, software, and system technology and user needs. Today Oracle continues to engineer new levels of excellence into the SPARC architecture delivering the highest performance scalable servers, for engineering, enterprise, Internet and cloud computing applications
