Chip Multi-threading (CMT) Technical Resource

Throughput Computing is the underlying strategy of Sun's family of UltraSPARC processors designed to significantly increase real-world application performance while helping to cut the cost and complexity of network computing. These processors maximize throughput - the aggregate amount of work done - for network computing workloads by incorporating the technology of chip multithreading (CMT). CMT integrates the power of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) on to a single chip, allowing a single processor to execute several software threads simultaneously.
