About SPARC Technology
SPARC stands for Scalable Processor ARchitecture. The technology is based on pioneering research around RISC at the University of California, Berkeley. It has been the basis of Sun's premiere line of servers since its introduction as the first "pizza box" in 1989. That same year, Sun transferred the ownership of the SPARC specifications to Sparc International, who continues to license the technology and manage compliance testing for the trademark today.
OpenSPARC: Innovation Opportunities with the World's First Open Source CPU
Sun opened the design code for its UltraSPARC T1 processor and the
OpenSPARC community was born. Now developers around the world are
innovating at the chip level to meet the high throughput demands of Web
2.0. In this informative Net Talk, you'll learn what's behind the
world's first open source CPU and the dynamic OpenSPARC community.
Listen in as our expert panelists explore the many opportunities that
OpenSPARC offers to developers and architects.
