- ninjin 3y agoProbably worth to add the context as well: "This song is an allegory of the recent difficulties we went through dealing with Sun, who refused our request for documentation about their UltraSPARC III processors. We want documentation, because these are the fastest processors with a per-page eXecute bit in the MMU, needed to fully support our new W^X security feature. In the meantime, the AMD Hammer has come onto the scene, and this processor supports an eXecute bit in 64-bit mode."
- jsiepkes 3y agoAdditionally OpenBSD 3.3 was released in 2003. In 2005 SUN started with opensourcing large parts of the SPARC processor design. You can find some of it here: https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc.html https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc.html
