Sun: Oracle is "committed" to SPARC architecture
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle Open World 2009 - Sun Microsystems
| Chairman Scott McNealy has confirmed that
| Oracle will continue to develop SPARC
| architecture.
|
| "SPARC has good momentum. There are 216,000
| Sparc-based servers [currently] on the market
| and we have sold 7 million processors this
| decade," said McNealy. "So, we asked Oracle
| and Larry Ellison, what are your plans for
| SPARC? Well, Oracle is committed to SPARC and
| will spend more money than we have on its
| development."

Sun's Sparc server roadmap revealed
,----[ Quote ]
| For those of us on the outside of Sun Microsystems, the future of the Sparc
| processor and its related server platforms has been the subject of much speculation
| and debate. But for Sun's largest customers, the mystery has been over since
| sometime in June.

Sun injects Euro universities with OpenSparc
,----[ Quote ]
| The processor and operating system technologies that made Sun Microsystems
| one of the first big Silicon Valley startups got their start three decades
| inside the computer science departments of two universities. It was Stanford
| University for the hardware and the University of California at Berkeley for
| the operating system that would eventually become Solaris.
|
| There is a feedback loop you can get with tech and academia. It starts there,
| gets commercialized, and then comes back as products that universities and
| colleges deploy to do research. That's why new technology that offers some
| sort of edge is always adopted by academia and government labs first. Take
| Linux-based supercomputer clusters as just one example.
