About CPU Modules
Figure 5–3
The UltraSPARC II CPU module is a high-performance, highly-integrated superscalar
processor implementing the SPARC-V9 64-bit RISC architecture. The UltraSPARC II
processor supports both 2-D and 3-D graphics, as well as image processing, video
compression and decompression, and video effects through the sophisticated visual
instruction set (VIS). VIS provides high levels of multimedia performance, including
real-time video compression/decompression and two streams of MPEG-2
decompression at full broadcast quality with no additional hardware support.
