Re: [JBoss-user] Slightly Off-Topic: Java on Solaris
Anyway, I'm wondering how much better Java is on the Sparc/Solaris vs. Linux/Intel. one of our customers moved from w2000 servers to sparc/solaris. for what i know under solaris (and other unix in general) java work worse than windows/linux, checkout this benchmark: http://www.volano.com/report.html for what i know (i didnt follow personally the tests) there are also problems on the usage of the CPUs in a multiprocessor system. maybe somebody else had a better experience?

This was a historic problem with Unix VMs, caused by 'grean threads'. Sun's VMs for Solaris and Linux now both use native threads, so this isn't so true anymore. With Linux, however, you'll hit scaling ceilings because of the thread model. Under Linux, each Java thread corresponds to a kernel thread, which is basically a process. This is a lot more scheduling load than the same software will develop under Solaris' thread model. -danch ___ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
[JBoss-user] Slightly Off-Topic: Java on Solaris
My question is off-topic so maybe anyone that responds should do so off list... Anyway, I'm wondering how much better Java is on the Sparc/Solaris vs. Linux/Intel. Those Sun Blade 100 workstations are pretty cheap and I'm curious about getting one... Worth it?

Re: [JBoss-user] Slightly Off-Topic: Java on Solaris
Hi, All following is based ONLY on my/our experience: 1. usually java on Sparc/Solaris much faster then on Linux/Intel (actually I know that unix-vm group at Sun has spend a lot of time to tune the VM performance) 2. usually java is more stable on Sparc/Solaris then on Linux/Intel (check number of Linux-specific bugs versus Solaris-specific) 3. java for Solaris is released a bit early than for Linux Don't know about Sun Blade 100, my experience is based on whole zoo of SunSparc 60s. But, personally I'd prefer Compaq XP1000 with Tru64 (ex DigitalUnix). regards, Hunter Hillegas wrote: My question is off-topic so maybe anyone that responds should do so off list...
