Oracle SPARC T3-1 Server

The SPARC T3 processor can operate at near-line speed over a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network. This amazing cryptographic throughput performance means that servers with the SPARC T3 processors are the most sought after platform for applications that demand secure network communications.

With the increased transistor budget, a single processor die can host:
• As many as 128 threads for each processor (that’s sixteen cores maintaining eight threads a core)
• Newly designed floating point pipeline per core
• Two on-chip 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
• Six on-chip cache coherency links and logic
• Two on-chip PCI Express Generation 2 interfaces
• Level 1 and Level 2 caches per chip
• Each core contains cryptographic acceleration for 12 unique ciphers

What’s more, due to the SoC design, the SPARC T3 processor with its built-in 16 newly-designed floating-point units significantly enhances the nature of the CPU.

Another point is that the extremely high level of integration reduces latency, improves security and reliability, and lowers costs. The optimized system design supports a wide variety of IT service applications. Uniform management interfaces along with the adoption of standards reduce administrative costs, and the new, state-of-the-art housing design ensures performance, density and savings in current data centers.
The T3-1 server offers Oracle VM for SPARC 2.0 and Oracle Solaris Containers, enabling ultimate server virtualization and consolidation at a fraction of the cost of third-party vendors.
