Sun partner Zeus Technology threw down a price/performance lightning bolt announcing that its Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager (ZXTM) software running on Sun's SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5140 servers delivers the highest price/performance and scalability across any server platform, based on the latest industry standard throughput tests. More information on Zeus' ZXTM running on SPARC Enterprise servers is available here. Zeus' press release is here. WebSphere Application Server and T5440
Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server happens to be a monster in terms of performance. It can consolidate a lot of servers in a single box providing the similar combined throughput. For the server details and other blogs related to this server I suggest you to visit T5440 Blog index(http://blogs.sun.com/allanp/entry/sun_s_4_chip_cmt). Sun's 4-chip CMT system raises the bar
Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 is the big brother of the 2-chip Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 systems released in April 2008. Each UltraSPARC T2 Plus chip offers 8 hardware strands in each of 8 cores. With up to four UltraSPARC T2 Plus chips delivering a total of 32 cores and 256 hardware threads and up to 512Gbytes of memory in a compact 4U package, the T5440 raises the bar for server performance, price-performance, energy efficiency, and compactness. And with Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers, the potential for server consolidation is compelling. Siebel 8.0 on Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 - More Bang for the Buck!!
Sun announced the 14,000 user Siebel 8.0 PSPP benchmark results on a single Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440. An Oracle white paper with Sun's 14,000 user benchmark results is available on Oracle's Siebel benchmark web site. The content in this blog post complements the benchmark white paper.
Sun's latest CMT-based server is the four-way Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440. As with the previous two-way Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers, the T5440 is built around the UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor (an SMP version of the UltraSPARC T2). The T5440 supports one, two, or four processors in a 4U form factor. With four T2 Plus processors, the T5440 provides 256 hardware threads. As with previous CMT servers the T5440 utilizes PCI-Express (PCI-E) for Input/Output (IO). With the UltraSPARC T2 and T2 Plus processors, a PCI-E root complex is brought directly on-chip, reducing latency between IO devices and memory. Accelerate Multithreaded Applications with CMT Processors – crypto & microparallelism
A new CMT whitepaper discussing how to accelerate multithreaded applications on CMT processors touches on high-performance cryptography on CMT processors and microparallelism techniques. Using LDOMs and CMT to improve scalability and system utilization
Recent advances in multi-core chip technology, has led to a new breed of server systems that are offering unprecedented compute power resulting in breakthrough performance. To fully utilize compute power of these new type of systems, parallelism in applications is becoming increasingly important. LDOMs guest domains supported as Solaris Cluster nodes
Did you know that you can create LDoms guest domain running Solaris, and then treat this guest domain as a cluster node? The technically inclined reader would, at this point, have several questions pop into his head. Read-on to get your questions answered! |
