MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 7, 1992 -- SunPro, Sun Microsystems'
software development business, today announced its support for the
SuperSPARC microprocessor, available from Texas Instruments.

SunPro's line of SPARCompiler products and SPARCworks developer tools
allow software developers to tap the power of SuperSPARC instantly by
supporting binary compatibility across existing and new generations of
the SPARC architecture.

"Because SunPro has been involved with the SuperSPARC design team from
the start, our SPARCompiler and SPARCworks tools make it possible for
applications to take maximum advantage of SuperSPARC," said Jon
Kannegaard, SunPro vice president and general manager. "This will
translate into maximum application performance for the end user."

Upcoming releases of SunPro products will allow software developers to
further exploit SuperSPARC's parallelism at both the instruction and
application levels through the use of SuperSPARC's advanced superscalar
and multiprocessor features -- enabling them to create applications
that will run even faster.

SunPro develops, markets and supports software products that are
crucial to the development of computer applications.  These products
include optimising compilers for building new applications, programmer
productivity tools that enable the developer to complete work faster
and more accurately, and workgroup integration products that help teams
of developers work more effectively.


SunPro, a Sun Microsystems, Inc. business, is the worldwide volume
leader in professional software development products for the SPARC and
SunOS/Solaris platforms.
