	Sparc64 processor aims at dual-core transition in 2006 \| TG Daily (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		To keep up with Intel's Xeon and Itanium roadmap, the Sparc64 chip will continue its evolutionary route and bring speed increases, multithreading and enhancements in power efficiency with two new product generations that are due in late 2006 and early 2008.
		Fujitsu expects the 2.4 GHz Sparc64 VI to deliver roughly twice the speed of a single-core Sparc64 V 1.35 GHz processor.
		Fujitsu did not provide power consumption data for the Sparc64 V, but said that the new dual-core chip will consume about 120 watts, which is in line with Intel's current single-core Itanium 2 chip.

	Fujitsu plans four-core Sparc chip for 2008 \| CNET News.com
		Fujitu's Sparc64 family is a respected processor family, with good performance and reliability features drawn from the company's mainframe experience, but it hasn't been widely used outside Fujitsu's core market in Japan.
		Sparc64 VI and VI+ use the same data pathway, called a bus, to connect to the rest of the system, meaning that the newer chip will plug into the older systems.
		One event that can cause the chip to switch from its first thread to its second is when the first runs into a "cache miss"--in other words, when the chip has to wait because high-speed cache memory doesn't have the information the chip needs and must retrieve it from slower main memory.

	LinuxElectrons - Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER Servers To Use 5th Generation SPARC64
		Exploiting the company's long-term processor development experience, the Fujitsu SPARC64 V processor is fabricated using 90-nanometer (nm) process technology, a first for UNIX® based servers, and operates at 1.89 GHz.
		The introduction of SPARC64 V processor comes on the heels of two major enterprise-focused announcements from Fujitsu: the global expansion of its TRIOLE™ strategy for optimized IT on May 26, 2004 and its partnership with Sun Microsystems, Inc on June 1, 2004.
		Like previous generations, the 1.89 GHz SPARC64 V processor is establishing world records for performance in the industry standard SPECjbb® 2000 (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation Java™ Business Benchmark 2000) benchmark in 8-way, 16-way and 32-way configurations.

		The SPARC64 port is the port I'll be testing since my system is an UltraSPARC box.
		NetBSD for SPARC64 is bit different than Solaris or Linux for SPARC, in that NetBSD SPARC64 exists only as a 64-bit operating system.
		While there is a theoretical method for installing a 32-bit userland, it's quite convoluted, and given the trouble that this guy had, I'm not up for even attempting this.

	The Unix Guardian--Fujitsu-Siemens Keeps Rolling on Sparc64, Itanium Roadmaps
		Olympus is a variation of the Sparc64 VI processor that Fujitsu was designing for its PrimePower Unix servers well before Sun finally came to its senses in June 2004 and partnered with Fujitsu to sell a mixed (though not merged) UltraSparc and Sparc64 Unix server line.
		The Jupiter frames, by the way, will not be able to support the older Sparc64 V processors, since the move to dual-core chips coincided with an upgrade in the memory and bus architecture in the PrimePower line.
		By the end of this year, Fujitsu has committed to boosting the Sparc64 V chip to 2.16 GHz, and it has said in the past that it can increase cache size on the chip and crank the clock speed up to about 2.4 GHz.

		SPARC is the foundation of Fujitsu's Primepower servers, and the new processor will debut in September in the 650, 850, 900, and 1500 models.
		The new 90-nanometer processor can also be mixed and matched with older versions of the SPARC64 in the Primepower 900, 1500, and 2500, said Fujitsu.

	The Unix Guardian--Fujitsu Draws Sparc64 Roadmap Past 2010
		With the "Olympus-C" Sparc64 VI processors, Fujitsu is moving to two cores, and as we now know, is also adding multithreading to each core.
		If you look at Fujitsu processor roadmaps from 2003, you can see that the Sparc64 VII chips were supposed to be the first quad-core chips and they had a target clock speed of 5 GHz to 6 GHz.
		On that same roadmap, the dual-core Sparc64 VI processors were expected in mid-2004 running at 2 GHz and ramping to 3 GHz, and the Sparc64 V processors were never intended to go beyond the 130 nanometer process or 1.62 GHz in clock speed, either.

		Another processor to be discussed at next week's MicroProcessor Forum is the Fujitsu SPARC64 V. Fujitsu has recently published SPEC results for the new 1.35 GHz chip, which can now be found in SPECmine.
		While there was a SPARC64 V in development at HAL with a new and very different architecture (as reported earlier), this chip appears to use the same core design, as far as we can tell, aside from the cache and frequency improvements.
		Both the SPARC64 V and SPARC64 GP feature 256 KB L2 caches (128 KB I + 128 KB D), but the newer chip sports a 2 MB on-chip L2 cache instead of an 8 MB external cache.

		So in my research on non-Solaris SPARC operating systems, I was actually a bit surprised to find that not only does FreeBSD operate on UltraSPARC-based SPARC systems, but it's considered a Tier 1 port as well, along with x86, x86-64, and Alpha.
		There's no mention of this anywhere during the install, and it is not documented in the most recent SPARC64 installation instructions (it even refers to the keyboard), or the 5.2.1 SPARC64 release notes.
		This can be annoying if you don't keep handy a serial cable with null modem cable, which can be the case if you're accustomed to dealing with SPARC hardware and its serial ways.
