Viggy Mokkarala writes (an EXCELLENT HP-PA summary): >I will attempt to answer some of the questions that were raised about HPPA >during the course of discussion on this topic. I am very interested in hearing equivalent answers to those same questions on some other RISC architectures. Which are similiar to HP-PA (MIPS?), which are very different? Do they have more/less capabilities? How do their compilers and operating systems take advantage of their architectures? Ok, maybe not all of that -- but how about answering the same questions which Viggy did for a quick comparison? I know it's a tough act to follow, but how about MIPS, SPARC, PRISM, 88K, ... Any takers?
