Jonathan Schwartz Shows 32-Way UltraSPARC Chip
Megaslow writes "The latest entry in Jonathan Schwartz's blog has pictures of Sun's Project Niagra chip, with 8 cores * 4 threads per core for a 32-way computer on single chip. He also shows what looks to be a test rig reportedly already up and running Solaris 10."
You know what I'd do if I had one of these?
Two chicks, man.
Game... blouses.
I'd be all set FOREVER if I could only get 20 of these! I mean...
:-)
640 Processors should be enough for anyone!
Life is short: void the warranty.
After upgrading the Sun server on our network to Solaris 10, all of a sudden the Exchange server stopped working, our Primary Domain Controller went tits up, and the W2K DHCP Server went offline. I've gotten six phone calls in the last 10 minutes from people calling to ask why their workstations say "Welcome to Looking Glass" when they log in. ;)

Back to the drawing board again, eh, Jonathan?
It says "Niagra chip", not "Viagra chip".

When I first read the headline, I thought it said "Nigeria" not "Niagra" and all I could think of was what the boot messages would look like....

I am of great luck that I have found you in my booting time of need.
Before my father passed away he moved 32 MILLION BYTES of CACHE to a daughter board on the pci bus. I have contacted the pci controller, and explained your GRANT request.
I need you to send me a copy of your PID, your UID, your address and your IRQ.
Yes Francis, the world has gone crazy.
