The SPARC T4 is a SPARC multicore microprocessor introduced in 2011 by Oracle Corporation. The processor is designed to offer high multithreaded performance (8 threads per core, with 8 cores per chip), as well as high single threaded performance from the same chip. [1] The chip is the 4th generation [2] processor in the T-Series family.
In September 2010, Oracle announced a range of SPARC T3 processor based servers. [6] [7] These are branded as the "SPARC T3" series, the "SPARC Enterprise" brand being dropped. The SPARC T3-series servers include the T3-1B, a blade server module that fits into the Sun Blade 6000 system. All other T3 based servers are rack mounted systems ...
The SPARC T5 processor is used in Oracle's entry and mid-size SPARC T5-2, T5-4, and T5-8 servers. All servers use the same processor frequency, number of cores per chip and cache configuration. [12] The T5 processor includes a crossbar network that connects the 16 cores with the L2 caches to the shared L3 cache.
Fujitsu will also discontinue their SPARC production (has already shifted to producing their own ARM-based CPUs), after two "enhanced" versions of Fujitsu's older SPARC M12 server in 2020–22 (formerly planned for 2021) and again in 2026–27, end-of-sale in 2029, of UNIX servers and a year later for their mainframe and end-of-support in 2034 ...
[10] [11] Prior to Oracle's close-sourcing Solaris, a group of former OpenSolaris developers began efforts to fork the core software under the name OpenIndiana, and the illumos Foundation that was created at the time continues to develop and maintain the kernel and userland of OpenIndiana, [12] and since then additional illumos distributions ...
Oracle Solaris is a proprietary Unix operating system offered by Oracle for SPARC and x86-64 based workstations and servers.Originally developed by Sun Microsystems as Solaris, it superseded the company's earlier SunOS in 1993 and became known for its scalability, especially on SPARC systems, and for originating many innovative features such as DTrace, ZFS and Time Slider.
During Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco on September 20, 2010, the processor was officially launched as the "SPARC T3" (dropping the "Ultra" prefix in its name), accompanied by new systems and new reported benchmarks claiming world-record performance. [4] Varied real-world application benchmarks were released with full system disclosures.
The T1 is a new-from-the-ground-up SPARC microprocessor implementation that conforms to the UltraSPARC Architecture 2005 specification [1] and executes the full SPARC V9 instruction set. Sun has produced two previous multicore processors ( UltraSPARC IV and IV+), but UltraSPARC T1 was its first microprocessor that is both multicore and ...
