The Virtex-5 OpenSPARC Evaluation Platform is a powerful system for hosting the OpenSparc T1 open-source microprocessor. Based on the Xilinx XUPV5-LX110T, a versatile general purpose development board powered by the Virtex®-5 FPGA, this kit brings the throughput of OpenSPARC Chip Multi-Threading to an FPGA.
Kit Includes:
- XUPV5-LX110T board
- 1GB Compact Flash card
- 256 MB SODIMM module
- SATA cable
- XUP USB-JTAG Programming Cable
- DVI to VGA adapter
- 6A power supply
OpenSPARC T1 is the open-sourced version of the custom designed UltraSPARC T1 Microprocesor from Sun Microsystems. To broaden the appeal of this state-of-the-art Chip Multi-threading (CMT) technology to the developers, engineers at Sun Microsystems and Xilinx Inc. have developed a reference design that allows a scaled-down version of the OpenSPARC T1 processor to run on Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGAs. We believe this reference design will be an excellent starting point for researchers and entrepreneurs to build and test novel ideas in the areas of computer architecture, logic design, parallel programming, and compiler techniques, among others.
