This paper describes several implementation techniques used in HAL's 250 KIPS SPARC V9 behavioral model. Beyond presenting the details of our processor model, we describe several areas of innovation: architectural state-vector capture for injection into a gate-level hardware model, using an EDC polynomial-based signature scheme to verify a hardware design; obtaining accurate kernel and user-mode instruction trace data.

Numerous recommendations on the initial evaluation and treatment of the head injured patient have been proposed over the last several years. Most assume there is readily available access to computed tomography and neurosurgical specialists. Many clinicians in Alaska must evaluate and begin treatment of head injured patients in circumstances quite different from this. Vast distances, severe weather and limited medical evacuation capability are factors that come into play while caring for these patients. The current medicolegal climate also contributes to clinician anxiety over missing rare but potentially serious injuries. These guidelines developed by Alaska clinicians from multiple specialties are meant to assist clinicians dealing with this very common problem and represent a reasonable approach to these patients in remote and rural Alaska.
