CoolThreads contest...

I found the old site where the Sun CoolThreads contest was held:

Can you get to that page?

For my vZoom project, Sun gave me a T2000 server! Fun times back in the
early 2000's.

For servers I think the Rock-CPU was an interesting design. No OoO
-execution and the instruction-level parallelism on each core comes
from additional threads.
But most server-CPUs today are spin-offs from desktop- or mobile-CPUs
where single-threading performance is necessary.
