Tom Kearney Object Name: Sun Sparcstation IPX Vintage: C.1991 Synopsis: Sun Sparcstation IPX AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20121208.075 Accession Date: 8-Dec-2012 Accession By: Tom Kearney Object name: Sun Sparcstation IPX Vintage: c.1991 Synopsis: Sun Sparcstation IPX. S/N: 600-2791-04 213M1236. Description: The Sun Sparcstation IPX is a workstation introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1991. It was designed to be an entry-level networked workstation. It is based on the SUN4C architecture, enclosed in a lunchbox chassis. It uses a Fujitsu MB86903 or Weitek W8701 40 MHz processor. Weitek provided 80MHz after-market "SPARC POWERuP!" (2000A-080 GCD) processors which worked well in an IPX but required a ROM update to v2.9. It has four 72-pin SIMM slots for memory expansion. The memory uses parity Fast Page Memory (FPM) SIMM's with speeds of 50-80ns. Slots can be filled individually giving a maximum of 64MB memory. Paired memory modules decrease access times via "bank interleaving" resulting in faster memory and overall system performance. Additional 32 and 64MB SBUS "Above Board" RAM expanders will fit and work in the IPX using the 8-pin J101 header which contains additional power and clock signals next to the DMA/Cache controller. The Sparcstation IPX also includes an on-board AMD Lance Ethernet chipset providing 10BaseT networking as standard and 10Base2 and 10Base5 via an AUI transceiver. The OpenBoot ROM is able to boot from network, using RARP and TFTP. Like all other SPARCstation systems, it holds system information such as MAC address and serial number in NVRAM. If the battery on this chip dies, then the system will not be able to boot. It includes an internal 3.5-inch 50-pin, single ended, fast-narrow SCSI drive and a floppy, and also supports external SCSI devices. It has a CG6 framebuffer.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.
