Open source version of the UltraSPARC T2 processor

OpenSPARC T2 is derived from the UltraSPARC T2 processor. 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.

By making the source for this design available for a larger community to review and learn from, we expect that ideas around chip multi-threading and multi-core concepts can be explored more freely and openly, and that truly beneficial innovations can be achieved.
