At Sun Microsystems, microprocessors are designed with the end product
in mind.
Sun provides an integrated product built on the SPARC/Solaris platform.
Sun's
chip design philosophy focuses on delivering the maximum value to the
customer's
application.
In the new emerging world of the net economy, many traditional
companies have
realized tremendous productivity gains and cost savings by building a
new
e-business infrastructure. This "Net Effect" has changed the way the
world does
business, both in communications to customers and relationships with
vendors.
However, these new environments have created new complexities that have
changed
the needs customers place on processors.
In the new world of internet communications multiple metrics of
performance have
become more important than single metrics, like clock speed, or
individual
benchmarks, like Specmarks. That's why Sun has focused on delivering
multi-dimensional levels of performance. The new UltraSPARC III
processor, for
instance, not only provides competitive clock speeds, it also delivers
exceptional bandwidth, scalability and reliability. It offers 100%
binary
compatibility for investment protection and a strong roadmap for future
generations of the product.
This program focuses on Sun's microprocessor development and integrated
product
design.
