New Sun Processors - Fall Microprocessor Forum 2006
The Fall Microprocessor Forum 2006 is nearly over. Sun presented the new Niagara-2 and SPARC64-VI.
The Niagara-2
will run twice as many threads parallel as it's predecessor. Each of it's 8 cores will handle 8 threads parallel. There will be perhaps a new Floating-Point/Graphics Unit (FGU) shared by the cores. The new Stream Processing Unit (SPU) will handle more algorithms (RC4, DES, 3DES, AES-128/192/256, MD5, SHA-1/256).
The SPARC64-VI
is the dual-core version of SPARC64-V.
