The Evolution of Chip Multithreading (CMT)

Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Designed to complement each other, as well as the rest of Sun’s server product line, the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers address the dynamic needs of the modern datacenter.

•Efficient and Predictable Scalability

With support for 64 threads and large memories, Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers are the first to utilize the 10 Gb Ethernet, I/O, and cryptographic acceleration provided directly by the UltraSPARC T2 processor chip. This approach provides leading levels of performance and scalability with extremely high levels of power, heat, and space efficiency.

•Accelerated Time to Market

Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers running the Solaris OS provide full binary compatibility with earlier UltraSPARC systems, preserving investments and speeding time to market. Sun’s CoolTools for SPARC help accelerate application selection, profiling, testing, tuning, debugging and deployment of key applications on CMT systems.

•Simplified Management

Each Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 server provides an Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) service processor, compatible with Sun’s x64 servers. ILOM provides a command line interface (CLI), a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) functionality to aid with out-of-band monitoring and administration. ILOM on these systems also provides an Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) backwards compatibility mode for administrators familiar with Sun Fire / Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 and T2000 servers.

•The Industry's Most Open Platform

Sun SPARC Enterprise servers are the industry’s most open platforms, providing the only mainstream processor and hypervisor offered under the GNU General Public License (GPL). These systems offer a choice of operating systems, including the Solaris OS, Linux, and BSD variants. The Solaris OS is free and open, offering full binary compatibility and enterprise-class features. Sun Java™ Enterprise System middleware is pre-loaded.

•Industry-Leading Tools for Virtualization and Consolidation

Sun’s chip multithreading (CMT) technology is ideal for consolidation, providing low-level multithreading support for virtualization at every layer of the technology stack. Sun Logical Domains exploit the UltraSPARC T2 processor’s 64 threads to support multiple guest operating system instances, while Solaris Containers provide virtualization within a single Solaris OS instance. The advanced ZFS file system provides storage virtualization for storage and considerable scalability.
