The UltraSPARC T2 processor is industry's first "server on a chip", packaging the most cores and threads of any general-purpose processor available, and integrating all the key functions of a server on a single chip: computing, networking, security, and input/output (I/O), plus tight integration with the Solaris operating system.

The T2 is a commodity derivative of the UltraSPARC series of microprocessors, targeting Internet workloads in computers, storage and networking devices. The processor, manufactured in 65 nm, is available with eight CPU cores, and each core is able to handle eight threads concurrently.

The SPARC T-series family of RISC processors and server computers, based on the SPARC V9 architecture, was originally developed by Sun Microsystems, and later by Oracle Corporation after its acquisition of Sun.

Abstract-UltraSPARC T2 is Sun Microsystems’ second generation multi-core, multi-threaded SPARC System-on-a-chip. It delivers twice the throughput performance of the first generation UltraSPARC T1 processor in essentially the same power envelope.

The OpenSPARCTM T2 Processor Design and Verification User’s Guide gives an overview of the design hierarchy on the OpenSPARC T2 processor. It also describes the files, procedures, and tools needed for running simulations and synthesis on the OpenSPARC T2 processor.

The UltraSPARC T2 processor is based on chip multithreading (CMT) technology that is optimized for highly threaded transactional processing. The UltraSPARC T2 processor improves throughput while using less power and dissipating less heat than conventional processor designs.

Aug 7, 2007 · With eight cores and 64 threads, the UltraSPARC T2 processor blends high performance and low power consumption with three, essential functions on one piece of silicon: Multi-threaded 10 GbE networking, crypto acceleration, and PCI-Express I/O expansion.

OPENSPARC-T2 Processor TFM (SOC Design methodology, scripts) I'm creating this repo for archival purposes . But someone who used to know Magma EDA tools or just want to know TFM , you can look at this.

SAM (SPARC Architectural Model) is a full system simulator that is able to boot hypervisor, OBP (Open Boot PROM) and Solaris and run applications. It loads SAS (SPARC Architecture Simulator) as the OpenSPARC T2 simulator, so any modifications made in SAS get automatically reflected in SAM.

Below are several operatings systems that support the UltraSPARC T1 and/or UltraSPARC T2 . Solaris operating system and operating systems derived from OpenSolaris on UltraSPARC T1.
