Abstract: Presentation on Niagara 2 made at the Hot Chips 18 Conference on
August 20 thru 22, 2006 at the Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
- Niagara-2 combines all major server functions on one chip
- >2x throughput and throughput/watt vs. UltraSparc T1
- Greatly improved floating-point performance
- Significantly improved integer performance
- Embedded wire-speed cryptographic acceleration
- Enables new generation of power-efficient, fully-secure datacenters
Bio: Greg Grohoski is a Sun Distinguished Engineer and one of the principal architects on the Niagara 2 project.
