<processor, standard> IEEE Std 1754-1994 "A 32-Bit Microprocessor Architecture". The IEEE standard defining a version of the SPARC microprocessor architecture.

The P1754 standard (the first microprocessor standard) was approved after four years on 1994-03-17. It is compatible with, but distinct from, SPARC International's 32 bit version of the SPARC Architecture, SPARC V8, from which it is largely derived. It is possible for a processor to comply with neither, one, or both specifications.
