Book I: PowerPC User Instruction Set Architecture
This Book defines the instructions, registers, etc., typically used by application programs (for example, Branch, Load, Store, and Arithmetic instructions, general purpose and floating-point registers).		 
 
Book II: PowerPC Virtual Environment Architecture
This Book defines the storage model (caches, storage access ordering, and so on) and related instructions, such as the instructions used to manage caches and to synchronize storage accesses when storage is shared among programs running on different processors.		 
 
Book III: PowerPC Operating Environment Architecture
This Book defines the privileged facilities and related instructions (address translation, storage protection, interruptions, and so on.).		 
 
PowerPC Microprocessor Family: AltiVec(TM) Technology Programming Environments Manual
The primary objective of this manual is to help programmers provide software that is compatible across the family of 64 and 32-bit PowerPC processors, which have implemented the AltiVec(TM) technology. This book describes how the AltiVec technology relates to the 64 and 32-bit portions of the PowerPC architecture. This book supplements the "PowerPC Microprocessor Family: Programming Environments Manual for 64 and 32-bit Microprocessors".		 
 
PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming Environments for 32-Bit Microprocessors
The primary objective of this manual is to help programmers provide software that is compatible across the family of 32-bit PowerPC processors. Because the PowerPC architecture is designed to be flexible to support a broad range of both 32 and 64-bit processors, this book provides a general description of features that are common to PowerPC processors and indicates those features that are optional or that may be implemented differently in the design of each processor.		 
 
The Programming Environments Manual for 64-bit Microprocessors
This manual is to help programmers provide software that is compatible across the family of PowerPC processors. This book provides a general description of features common to PPC processors and indicates those features that are optional or that may be implemented differently in the design of each processor. This book is for only 64-bit processors.
