I agree! The thing is, we first need to agree on an Architecture type / ISA and the overall goal before the code can begin to flow.
Believe me, I am not stuck on OpenSPARC, but I have yet to see any other CPU's that are opensource that are as complete and/or performant with a generally good software stack already in place. Troy, can you poke at the T2 a bit and see how it looks under the hood? How difficult would it be to update to a DDR3 memory controller or ...? I have seen mentioned someplace GDDR5 being used for main system memory. For a highly performant SoC would such a thing make any sense?
