Oracle’s SPARC S7 processor (Figure 2) is optimized for horizontally scalable systems with all the key functionality included in the microprocessor chip. The revolutionary Software in Silicon capabilities, which were introduced with the SPARC M7 processor, are also available in the SPARC S7 processor enabling unprecedented data protection, cryptographic acceleration, and analytics performance. These features include Security in Silicon, which provides Silicon Secured Memory and cryptographic acceleration, and Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX) units, which provide In-Memory Query Acceleration and In-Line Decompression.
