Solaris Fast on the New Intel Xeon 5500
It's great to see Solaris and OpenSolaris moving fast to support new processors -- Sun Solaris Platform Advancements Unleash the Power of the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series.
Unleashing things is good, too. There is a lot of technical content for
developers and administrators out there now, but for me the best part
of the announcement is that it's based in part on a long relationship
between two companies doing development in the OpenSolars project.
Seems things are going well when they lead to results like this. I've
met a bunch of the Intel engineers over the past two years, and it has
been a pleasure engaging with them at various times.
Using Solaris to Optimize Xeon. Technical videos. Sun, Intel Optimize Solaris for 'Nehalem. OpenSolaris Running Great on Intel Nehalem. Solaris on Nehalem. Nehalem (Intel Xeon 5500 Processor Series) Launch. Solaris FMA for Nehalem. Internet: Meet Your New Processor. OpenSolaris Unleashes the power of Intel Nehalem. And there is more coming on April 14.
I keep track of my Intel posts here at this tag: http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris/tags/intel
Intel, Xeon, OpenSolaris but no mention of Dave Stewart and his OpenSolaris videos? http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/author/david-stewart/
I see you have him linked in your sidebar but just thought I'd add him in the comments. The videos he puts out are great.
It's nice to see that Intel is behind OpenSolaris.
