Thursday October 11, 2007 Matt Ingenthron's Stream of Consciousness
Thursday October 11, 2007 Well, I got into and out of Las Vegas without doing any gambling. I did, in fact, attempt to leave some coins behind. However, I guess coins have no value to one-armed-bandits any more, so I left with my pocket change.
I did a little bit of talking, sharing what knowledge I have in one session, and did a lot of listening and learning. Some things like DTrace in Solaris, JavaFX and JRuby support in NetBeans have added functionality since they were first introduced. It was good to hear about these updates, and there is just so much going on at Sun it's hard to keep up with it all!
Of course, one highlight was the launch of the UltraSPARC CoolThreads T2 processor based systems. I've only been able to play with one of the systems so far, and even then not for very long, but I was impressed. The benchmarks show it, it's CMT again proving it's the right approach.
Scott Mattoon and I shot a brief video for CEC, which Scott posted on his blog here. ( Oct 11 2007, 10:57:31 PM PDT ) Permalink
