Sun's Work With DARPA Accelerates New Technologies for Sun Customers
Sun and the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have just finished Phase 2 of a major research and development project resulting in the creation of several technologies covering everything from the physics of chips to extending Solaris to very high scales. Rather than producing a one-off technology, the fruits of this research have accelerated other efforts within Sun's R&D thereby bringing these technologies into the mainstream of Sun's product line.
Listen in to this special edition of “Innovating@Sun” where host Hal Stern is joined by Dr. Jim Mitchell, Sun Fellow and leader, and David Douglas, Associate Director of the HPCS program at Sun to discuss the significance of applying these new technologies to Sun's enterprise customers.
