"Development of the MIPS processor architecture has now stopped"
Is anyone still developing SPARC?
- znpy 6y agoNo one worth mentioning AFAIK.
- tyingq 6y agoFujitsu for general purpose servers, and Atmel (maybe others too?) for rad-hardened Sparc.
- zokier 6y ago> Atmel Microchip these days, Atmel got acquired few years back.. The packaging looks cool of those https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/AT697F https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/AT697F
- tyingq 6y agoThat is an interesting look. There's an 8 bit ATMEGA like that too: https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmegaS128 https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmegaS128 I wonder what that form factor with the chip suspended like that actually does for it.
- Gracana 6y agoThat's how it's packaged prior to trimming and lead forming, which looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CfEN5R13w4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CfEN5R13w4

- Symmetry 6y agoGiven that Fujitsu has jumped ship to ARM for their supercomputers I wonder if they'll be doing so with their other hardware as well?
- pwdisswordfish0 6y agoGaisler and the ESA are launching SPARC into space. https://www.gaisler.com/index.php/products/components/gr740 https://www.gaisler.com/index.php/products/components/gr740
- arnd 6y agoThey are using risc-v for their 64-bit cores now.
- pwdisswordfish0 6y agoThe context was not "Who isn't using RISC-V?" It was whether anyone is using SPARC. The reality: they're not mutually exclusive. They offer both, contrary to the implied subtext of your comment that there has been a transition from SPARC to RISC-V.
