I was under the impression that they went into great depth about
various parts of the SPARC CPU in classes like:

CSE 431: Introduction to Computer Architecture 
CSE 532: Multiprocessor Architecture 
CSE 539: Topics in Computer Architecture
CSE 575: Architecture of Arithmetic Processors 
CSE 597: Embedded Systems Design 
CSE 597: Special Topics in Microsystems Design 
CSE 597: Optimizing Compilers 
CSE 597: Energy Efficient System Design 

But, I never attended there, so I could be wrong.
