- Can Sun make Niagara II shine in late 2007?
- David Kanter offers a sneak peak at Sun's Niagara II processor.Kanter: "Although performance numbers were not forthcoming, the design objectives seem feasible and relatively competitive for a processor slated to arrive in the third quarter of 2007. The improvements in the cores and system architecture for Niagara II are substantial...

- Can Sun make Niagara II shine in late 2007?Again, you have no cluePerformance wise, Niagra II will be very competitive, but performance is not the whole story. The SPARC architecture is a separate market with billions of software investment. People will continue to use sparc as price/performance improves over previous...

- Futures and alternatives
- The Sun Ray's big strength: server based everything, is also its biggest weakness. For example, home use of Sun Rays works beautifully for most business applications because the bandwidth and server computing loads for those are relatively minor. What happens, however, when the consumer wants to watch a movie is...

- SMP/CMT, ZFS, and RDBMS internals
- Look inside one of Sun's current "Niagara" or "coolthreads" machines and what you'll see is an early market product reflecting a deep commitment to migrating what we naively think of as SMP infrastructure onto to the same piece of silicon with the processors. Thus one key reason an eight core...

- APL and parallelism
- Quite a number of otherwise respectable people seem to be believe that Sun's throughput computing initiative will never produce a CPU appropriate to workstation or laptop uses. Their basic argument is that the first generation Niagara CPUs are weak on floating point and that all of them trade off relatively...
