Project Darkstar

The video game industry's first enterprise grade, high performance, fault tolerant and highly scalable server technology for online, multiplayer games. Written in Java, Project Darkstar has been designed from the ground up to handle almost any kind of online game imaginable.

Electric VLSI Design System

A complete, Java technology-based circuit design package that handles schematics, IC layout, and even textual hardware description languages.

Experimental Stuff

Experimental Stuff is operated by Sun Labs for the purpose of sharing experimental technologies and services with the web community. The technologies and services available from this site are experimental. They are not Sun products, nor are there plans to offer them as products.

Project Fortress

A new programming language designed for high-performance computing (HPC) with high programmability. It is intended to be a modern replacement for Fortran. the Fortress design has not been tied to legacy language syntax or semantics; all aspects of HPC language design have been rethought from the ground up.

JVoice Bridge

Software written in the JavaTM Programming Language that handles Voice over IP (VoIP) audio communication and mixing for tasks such as conference calls, voice chat, speech detection, and audio for 3D virtual environments. This versatile software adapts depending on remote user bandwidth connection, and supports a range of voice qualities from telephone to CD-quality.

Sun Labs Lively Kernel

A new web programming environment which supports desktop-style applications with rich graphics and direct manipulation capabilities, but without the installation or upgrade hassles. Written entirely in the JavaScript programming language, a language supported by all the web browsers, the system can run in commercial web browsers without installation or any plug-in components and can function as an integrated development environment (IDE), making the whole system self-sufficient and able to improve and extend itself dynamically.

Project Maxwell Assembler System

The Project Maxwell Assembler System (PMAS) is a collection of Java 6 packages which implement several assemblers, disassemblers, automated testing for both and an extensible framework with generators for all of the above. The currently covered instruction set architectures (ISAs) are SPARC, PowerPC, AMD64 and IA32.

Project Squawk

An open source research virtual machine for the Java language that examines ways to expand Java into the micro-embedded space. Written entirely in Java, Squawk aims at a small footprint, it is Java compliant, and is CLDC 1.1-compatible.

Project Sun SPOT

An Open Source technology based entirely on Java, Project Sun SPOT open source release includes the eBones hardware architecture, software libraries, drivers, a networking stack, and the Squawk Virtual Machine.

Project Wonderland

A Java technology-based 3D toolkit for creating collaborative virtual worlds. Within those worlds, users can communicate with high-fidelity, immersive audio and can share live applications such as web browsers, OpenOffice documents, and games.
