I'll focus on the fault management features of the Sun systems built around the Xeon 5500. The platforms covered include the X4170, X4270, X4275 and X2270 rackmount servers and the X6270 and X6275 blades. |

An integrated memory controller and multiple DDR3 memory channels help the Intel® Xeon® 5500 and Intel® Xeon® 3500 processors provide high bandwidth for memory-intensive applications. DDR3 memory components offer greater density and run at higher speeds, but at lower voltage than previous generation DDR2 memories.
*[Scaling Olio Web Tier on Sun Fire X2270 Nehalem-based servers|http://blogs.sun.com/wizard/entry/scaling_olio_web_tier_on]*

In our setup, an active user on average did one operation every 5 seconds, and an operation required on average 7 web transactions. Supporting 10000 users across two X2270 web servers therefore involved a transaction rate of about 7200 transactions per second per server. The web tier contained PHP application code that in turn accessed memcached, NFS-mounted filestore, and backend replicated MySQL database.

Today, we are showcasing the first major deployment of Olio on Sun's newest Intel Nehalem based systems - the SunFire X2270 and the SunFire X4270. We tested 10,000 concurrent users (with a database of 1 million users) using over 1TB of storage in the unstructured object store.

Congratulations to my colleagues in the Sun Studio Compiler group - the fun thing about this result is that it beats Intel's own compiler on this Intel chip by 20%, due to the optimization technologies found in the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 compiler.

There are two things you need in order to make an USB flash drive boot into DOS. The first is a boot sector, and the second are the DOS boot files. Read on for the steps Perley used to get these onto a USB flash drive, making it possible to boot into DOS from the USB flash drive.
