I'm quite surprised. INRIA had tons of SPARC systems in the past (this
is at least true at INRIA Rennes). Was it impossible for the OCaml team
to get some of these systems when they were changed for PCs?

That's said, a port of OCaml (and its GC ;-) on a 8 core, 4 threads per
core, latest Niagara processor (aka OpenSparc T1[1]) could be an
interesting task. :-)
