Why not OpenSPARC T2 ?

I think it's because of these guys' strong focus on FPGAs. If you dig back on the opensparc scene a few years back, you'd find almost no materials on the T2 implemented in FPGA...

Yeah, I see some T1 related academic papers. Research on RISC-V [0] with this hyper-scale architecture would have been a better choice for PI.
