Sun's plan for open-source chips bears fruit
,----[ Quote ]
| A start-up called Simply RISC has built a single-core variant of Sun
| Microsystems' UltraSparc T1, an indication of interest in Sun's plan to
| encourage others to adopt and modify open-source designs for the processor.

| [...]
|
| The chip can run the Unix and Linux operating systems, Simply RISC
| said. Sun's Solaris version of Unix is chiefly used on Sparc processors,
| and the server maker is encouraging efforts by Linux programmers to
| support the UltraSparc T1. The Ubuntu version of Linux already has
| been adapted for the UltraSparc T1.
