The T2 and media reaction: The UltraSPARC T2 announcements back on August 7th consisted of two separate stories. The first of these involved Sun's plan to sell it into the commodity processor market. Unfortunately almost nobody in the press understood either the announcement itself or where Sun's taking this, with the straight up treatment given...; Tags: Network technology, Processors, Paul Murphy, T2, Sun Microsystems Inc., Sun UltraSPARC, UltraSparc T2; Blog posts 2007-09-04
The UltraSPARC T2 and file security: The UltraSPARC T2 and file securityjust wonderingHow many threads on a chip can I use until I will hit the limits on memory and I/O throughput, say for a properly written web-server application.Memory throughputActually much of the point of T2 is help overcome memory latency (I know, latency and throughput...; Tags: Network technology, security, T2, Sun UltraSPARC; Discussion threads 2007-08-24
The UltraSPARC T2 and file security: Almost two years ago I predicted that Sun's then pending T1 and subsequent T2 CMT machines would offer throughput levels roughly comparable to x86 machines producing the number of cycles you'd get multiplying Sun's CMT megahertz by their thread count -i.e that a T1 would produce roughly the throughput...; Tags: Network technology, Data centers, Processors, NETWORKING, Paul Murphy, security, T2, T1, Sun UltraSPARC, rack, data center, performance; Blog posts 2007-08-24
Analysis of Sun's 'Niagara 2' UltraSPARC T2: Analysis of Sun's 'Niagara 2' UltraSPARC T2WTF"Single threaded performance is so important in the server world because it essentially allows co-hosting logical or virtual servers to borrow each other’s idle time and complete tasks so much faster"Why? That's the exact opposite of what I'd expect.
