Abstract :
OpenSPARC T1 is the open source version of the UltraSPARC T1 processor developed by Sun Microsystems. XiIinx development kit with a Virtex-5 gives the chance to test and change it. We analyzed the performance of the parts of OpenSPARC and Petri processor. We have considered several possibilities of adding a Petri processor to improve performance of processes that require synchronization.
