Looking at UltraSPARC III

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the opening-the-hood-up dept.

argonaut writes, "I saw a cool article about the UltraSPARC 3 at Ace's Hardware. They have some of the usual intro stuff about Sun in the beginning, but then get more in depth about the technical specs. The best part is the second page where they talk about ILP, pipelining, and scalability (up to 1000 cpus!). There are some excellent examples of ILP and load latency. "

  1. Written using emacs by ChrisRijk · · Score: 5
    Just thought I'd let you all know that I used emacs to write the whole article in HTML. (though the webmaster for Ace's Hardware did some final formatting to fit with the rest of the site). Written on a FreeBSD box too...

    I've already started writing a 2nd article, this time on Sun's MAJC chips, which have lots of interesting features. Yummy. The reason why I'm doing a bit about Sun hardware is because (a) I tend to follow what they're up to because they do occationally do pretty interesting stuff, and (b) nobody else has written much...

    Wish they weren't so secretive sometimes though. If you actually look at Sun's site, there's almost nothing about the US-3 technically. Still have to wait until Sun start actually selling US-3 hardware before can be certain of anything...
