Does anyone know the number of cycles in the instruction pipeline in
SPARC Version 8?  (Specifically, in a Sun SPARCstation ELC.)  My
thesis is about compiling for RISC, and I'm using SPARC for my example
RISC architecture.  It only occurred to me a couple of days ago that
I've been ASSUMING throughout that the SPARC pipeline has three
cycles!  I have "The SPARC Architecture Manual" for Version 8 of the
SPARC architecture, but I cannot find this information anywhere
therein.

I'm rather embarrassed at having to ask the net for information, since
I usually try so hard to find it in some other way.  However, this
project is coming down to the wire, and I'd like to have accurate
information about the architecture.
