This document describes porting and transitioning to the
MIPSpro 32-bit, 64-bit and high performance 32-bit (N32)
compilers, and how to employ them with IRIX 6.2, as well
as providing techniques for tuning the performance of
your R8000 applications.
The chapters break out in the following topic areas:

This note discusses changes made to IRIX for Power Challenge to
accomodate 64 bit programs and the R8000 architecture. It is
targeted at developers to aid in their migration planning.
This 9-page document written on 11/23/93 discusses the intended
future directions of IRIX to accommodate 64 bit programs. It is
targeted at developers to aid in their migration planning.
This document describes the internal subprogram interface for
native 64-bit programs. It is currently preliminary, subject to
review and revision. It should be of interest to those engineers
responsible for compilers, debuggers, and other tools which deal
with code at internal interface level, and to those who are
responsible for assembly-language code which must be ported to
MIPS III architectures. We assume some familiarity with the
current 32-bit interface conventions as specified in the MIPS ABI.
