25. SPARC Processor Objectives
• Enable both M and T-series system product lines
– T-series: scale out
– M-series: scale up
• Improve performance by a minimum of 2x every 2 years
– Focus on commercial server applications
• Add features to exploit the value of Oracle software
– e.g. SIMD extensions, memory versioning
• Use common IP in both product lines
– Processor cores, SERDES, IO interfaces, ILOM, Hypervisor
• Continue to deliver core SPARC capabilities
– Compatibility, Scalability, RAS, in-box upgrades, complete portfolio
25
26. Oracle is committed to SPARC
• Accelerated multi-year roadmaps
– Chip development was 4-5 years, now it’s a 2-year average
– Full 30 years of Oracle DB capabilities
• T4 is a game-changer
– Same throughput, 5x the performance
– Customers don’t always know if an application is multi-threaded
• The SPARC roadmap has “tick-tock” improvements between single-
thread and throughput
• Next generation systems will
– Significantly improve performance and while enhancing system scalability
– Increase system efficiency and availability
– Maintain our commitment to application compatibility
• Oracle is the best for running Oracle
– Greater value from integrated approach
