  abstract =     "The dynamic instruction counts of MIPS and SPARC are
                 compared using the SPEC benchmarks. MIPS typically
                 executes more user-level instructions than SPARC. This
                 difference can be accounted for by architectural
                 differences, compiler differences, and library
                 differences. The most significant differences are that
                 SPARC's double-precision floating point load/store is
                 an architectural advantage in the SPEC floating point
                 benchmarks while MIPS's compare-and-branch instruction
                 is an architectural advantage in the SPEC integer
                 benchmarks. After the differences in the two
                 architectures are isolated, it appears that although
                 MIPS and SPARC each have strengths and weaknesses in
                 their compilers and library routines, the combined
                 effect of compilers and library routines does not give
                 either MIPS or SPARC a clear advantage in these
                 areas.",
