Innovation Matters: Multi-Core Multi-Thread in your DataCenter

The computer industry has always had a fixation with megahertz. CPU cycle times. Clock speed. Sun's UltraSPARC processor has been obsessed with something entirely different: maximizing the throughput of real-world applications and workloads. What's the difference? Put it this way--it doesn't do you much good to have the world's fastest car on a jammed freeway. With traditional processor technology, blazing-fast microprocessors are held back by memory bottlenecks. But with chip multithreading (CMT), the revolutionary technology behind Sun's Throughput Computing strategy, it's like having more lanes open on the freeway. Let me explain how it works and how you will benefit from this technological innovation today and in the future.
