OpenSPARC will be very flexible in the areas of
implementation. The designer will have the freedom
to choose and innovate in many directions as they
prefer. These include:
- Choosing a technology of their preference whether it
be 130nm, or 90nm or 65nm or 45nm
- Choosing bulk silicon or SOI
- Choosing a foundry of their choice anywhere in the world
- Choosing tools to implement the design from any EDA
vendor they want to use
Hope this helps.
