OpenSPARC
Appearance
OpenSPARC is an open source hardware project started in December 2005. The initial contribution to the project was Sun Microsystems' Register transfer level (RTL) Verilog code for a full 64-bit, 32-thread microprocessor, the UltraSPARC T1 processor. On 21 March 2006, Sun released the source code to the T1 IP core under the GNU General Public License.
On December 11, 2007, Sun also made the UltraSPARC T2 processor's RTL available via the OpenSPARC project.[1]
