showrev output explanation needed

hi this is the output of showrev command from my sun blade 150 machine.
Code:
bash-3.00# showrev
Hostname: u15_9
Hostid: 83685284
Release: 5.10
Kernel architecture: sun4u
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain: sun.com
Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 Generic_127127-11

Can someone explain about application architecture and kernel architecture?

psrinfo will tell you the processor type
Application arch refers to whether is an Intel or Sparc platform. That's it
