What is the memory bandwidth of an M8 processor?
185 GB/sec
What is Sparc server?
SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) is a 32- and 64-bit microprocessor architecture from Sun Microsystems that is based on reduced instruction set computing (RISC). SPARC has become a widely-used architecture for hardware used with UNIX-based operating systems, including Sun’s own Solaris systems.
Is Sparc RISC?
SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) is a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instruction set architecture originally developed by Sun Microsystems. The design was turned over to the SPARC International trade group in 1989, and since then its architecture has been developed by its members.
What is UltraSPARC architecture?
The UltraSPARC is a microprocessor developed by Sun Microsystems and fabricated by Texas Instruments, introduced in mid-1995. It is the first microprocessor from Sun to implement the 64-bit SPARC V9 instruction set architecture (ISA). Marc Tremblay was a co-microarchitect.
Does Sun Microsystems still exist?
A more mature Sun might have understood this and become a two-business entity, still thriving today. Instead Sun lost 80% of its value between November 2007 and November 2008, and was swallowed up in an April 2009 fire sale to Oracle.
How many addressing modes UltraSPARC has?
UltraSPARC architecture include a large file of registers that have more than 100 general purpose registers. Any procedure can access only 32 registers only.
Is Solaris a Linux or Unix?
Oracle Solaris (formerly known as Solaris) is a proprietary Unix operating system originally developed by Sun Microsystems. It superseded the company’s earlier SunOS in 1993.
What happened Sun Sparc?
Sparc and Solaris won’t disappear overnight, and Oracle has promised to support both until 2034. Sparc and Solaris won’t disappear overnight, and Oracle has promised to support both until 2034. But the two will likely be long gone by then. The bulk of the server hardware Oracle sells are x86-based running Linux.
Is Sparc CPU dead?
Oracle will simply let SPARC and Solaris slowly die, i.e. Oracle will continue to sell SPARC systems until there is reasonable demand, and then will simply close the LOB and layoff all people. Estimated deadline for the closure is 2020.
Why did Sun Microsystems go out of business?
The biggest reason for Sun’s downfall is “the inability to recognize the x86 open architecture, as opposed to what they were selling with the Sparc processors,” says Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Brian Babineau.
Why is Solaris dead?
Slowly all the UNIX users become Linux users. And now here we are: Oracle is promoting their own Linux version. Solaris is over and only left some patents and a shiny but dead name. That’s the reason why the comercial UNIX is dead: a cumbersome way to work their legacy and philosophy was killed by open source.
Is Solaris better than Linux?
Linux provides good security and performance. Solaris has provided the strict security feature, which gives a great edge to security to performance. Linux has good administrator ability. Solaris has an excellent administrator ability which has the ability to install and administer the system easily.
What is the difference between Solaris 10 and 11?
You can migrate a UFS file system to a ZFS file system by using these commands on an Oracle Solaris 10 system or migrate UFS data to a ZFS file system between two Oracle Solaris 10 systems. Oracle Solaris 11 includes a new system clone and disaster recovery capability called Unified Archives.
