Sun released the open source version of the UltraSPARC T1 design called "OpenSPARC T1". The UltraSPARC T1 processor with CoolThreads technology is the highest-throughput and most eco-responsible processor ever created.
By making the source for this design available engineering community to review and learn from, Sun expects that ideas around the multi-thread concepts can be explored more freely and openly, and that truly beneficial innovations can be achieved.
OpenSPARC T1 source components are covered under multiple open source licenses and can be downloaded from this page:

CoolThreads = ?
Sounds cool, heh :)
CoolThreads is their threading technology. Currently the OpenSPARCT1 is capable to run 32 threads simultaneously.
