cominciano a trapelare alcune informazioni su Niagara II il nuovo chip "massively multithreaded" sviluppato da SUN Microsystems :read: :
da theRegister
According to the latest documents, each Niagara II chip will ship with 8 cores, a 4MB shared L2 cache, four dual-channel FB-DIMM memory controllers, two 10/100 Gig-E ports and one PCI-E port. Each core also has a cryptographic acceleration unit with support for ciphers and hashes that can perform "free" encryption. The crypto unit runs in parallel with the main SPARC core at the same frequency. :eek:
we pegged Niagara II as supporting twice the threads of the UltraSPARC T1, bringing it up to 64 threads, and shipping with one floating point unit per core as opposed to one floating point unit total. FB-DIMMs, two-way support, and 10 Gig-E? Yep, we got those suckers too, and Sun has confirmed them all in its presentation.
