Levels of the PowerPC Architecture
The PowerPC architecture is defined in three levels that correspond to three programming environments,
roughly described from the most general, user-level instruction set environment, to the more specific,
operating environment.
This layering of the architecture provides flexibility, allowing degrees of software compatibility across a
wide range of implementations. For example, an implementation such as an embedded controller may
support the user instruction set, whereas it may be impractical for it to adhere to the memory management,
exception, and cache models.
The three levels of the PowerPC architecture are defined as follows:
•
PowerPC user instruction set architecture (UISA)—The UISA defines the level of the architecture
to which user-level (called problem state in the architecture specification) software should
conform. The UISA defines the base user-level instruction set, user-level registers, data types, the
exception model as seen by user programs, and the memory and programming models.
•
PowerPC virtual environment architecture (VEA)—The VEA defines additional user-level
functionality that falls outside typical user-level software requirements. The VEA describes the
memory model for an environment in which multiple devices can access memory, defines aspects
of the cache model, defines cache control instructions, and defines the time base facility from a
user-level perspective.
Implementations that conform to the PowerPC VEA also adhere to the UISA, but may not
necessarily adhere to the OEA.
•
PowerPC operating environment architecture (OEA)—The OEA defines supervisor-level (called
privileged state in the architecture specification) resources typically required by an operating
system. The OEA defines the PowerPC memory management model, supervisor-level registers,
synchronization requirements, and the exception model. The OEA also defines the time base
feature from a supervisor-level perspective.
Implementations that conform to the PowerPC OEA also conform to the PowerPC UISA and VEA.
The MPC885 adheres to the OEA definition of the exception model and provides a subset of the
memory management model. It includes OEA-defined registers and instructions for configuration
and exception handling.
Implementations that adhere to the VEA level are guaranteed to adhere to the UISA level; likewise,
implementations that conform to the OEA level are also guaranteed to conform to the UISA and the VEA
levels. For a more detailed discussion of the characteristics of the PowerPC architecture, see the
Programming Environments Manual for Implementations of the PowerPC Architecture.
For details of the MPC8xx core as an implementation of the PowerPC architecture, see

MPC885 and Implementation of the PowerPC Architecture.”
