The overall veriJication approach used in the design and development of the fill custom 64 bit UltraSPARC microprocessor will be described. A balanced hierarchical approach was critical in validating a design with this level of complexity. The tools, developed internally and externally, which aided the verijication effort will also be described. The environment was flexible enough to support various revisions of major tools. The method developed could easily be applied to derivative and next generation microprocessors.
Chip Multi-Threading is the new wave that is sweeping this decade. It is no more a theoretical discussion topic but one where revolutionary products with CMT will permeate every aspect of computing infrastructure. So, how does Academia innovate on this new frontier? Sun Microsystems has contributed to the open-source community a large state-of-the-art design called the, OpenSPARC T1. This new open source version of the UltraSPARC T1 design is a 64 bit, 32 threaded processor design available at no charge. For the first time in history, developers gain access to the chip multi-threading (CMT) technology unique to the UltraSPARC T1 processor, which is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The specifications, verilog RTL, verification environment, diagnostic test suite, SPARC Architecture Model, instruction accurate simulator, OBP, hypervisor and Solaris OS image are all made available. In this presentation we will discuss what Sun Microsystems is doing to bring a commercial CMT architecture and design into the classroom, "Bridging the gap" between industry and academia.
The electronics industry is characterised by rapid technological development and a high degree of obsolescence. The world over the growth in the electronics sector has been associated with high demand for existing products, n~wer products, opening of new markets and above all increasing application of electronics to practically all segments of the economy.Electronics is the fastest growing sector of the Indian industry. The electronics production in 1996-97, the terminal year of VIII plan was Rs. 26,600 crores. During the VIII plan, the electronics industry achieved a cumulative annual growth of 20% in production and over 40% in exports. In particular; the growth rate for the software sector only has been more than 52%. Due to the huge export potential and the large pool of internationally recognised manpower available, particularly in the software sector, Government is taking necessary steps to make India a global information technology power and one of the largest generators and exporters of software in the world within the next I 0 years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
