Chip-Multitheaded (CMT) Multicore Processor
and Memory Technology
The UltraSPARC
®
T1 multicore processor is the basis of the Sun Fire T2000 server.
The UltraSPARC T1 processor is based on chip multithreading (CMT) technology
that is optimized for highly threaded transactional processing. The UltraSPARC T1
processor improves throughput while using less power and dissipating less heat
than conventional processor designs.
Depending on the model purchased, the processor has four, six, or eight
UltraSPARC cores. Each core equates to a 64-bit execution pipeline capable of
running four threads. The result is that the 8-core processor handles up to 32 active
threads concurrently.
