Opensparc Documentation

Sun's UltraSPARC T1 and T2 processor has been designed to incorporate hypervisor technology in order to present a virtualized machine environment to any guest operating system running upon it. The resulting software model for a guest operating system is referred to as the "sun4v" architecture. This virtual machine environment is implemented with a thin layer of firmware software (the "UltraSPARC Hypervisor") coupled with hardware extensions providing protection. The UltraSPARC Hypervisor not only provides system services required by the operating system, but it also enables the separation of platform resources into self-contained partitions (logical domains) each capable of supporting an independent operating system image.
