omg you type so … omg you type so fast!
anyway im trying to get an used sun blade 1000 as my first server…
do you have any recommendation to noobs like me as a first server?
I KNOW it has a use … I KNOW it has a use, in fact it has many many uses, but I just wish he’d reply telling me how he uses it specifically. I’m only asking out of interest after all
T2000 doesn’t seem … T2000 doesn’t seem to be good at 3D graphics rendering: low floating point performance due to only single FPU per all 32 logical processors. It is ultra-fast web or database machine
These are for the … These are for the enterprise datacenters where you don’t want multi services on a single machine (you don’t want ldap on a web server). And if you can condense a rack to a single server with service separation think of the savings. Most servers are not utilized. If your web server needs more cpu assign it more. If 6 cpu is overkill take it away and assign it to something else. (Zones can be used as well similar to ldom but with single kernel)Most apps can’t use more than 4 cores anyways.
I understand what … I understand what you mean, but that can all be done with a single computer, unless it’s a specific command/program that can only be run once per OS, which can probably be fixed anyway
If you have that many cores, why can’t you set the affinity to different programs instead of running a separate OS to utilize each core? That would waste a lot of RAM on system information, maybe not per OS but it’d add up, you know what I mean?
Solaris along with … Solaris along with the Niagra chips (sparc) have a technology called Logical Domains. Basically you can divide the single box into many logical (virtual) servers (each running their own version of solaris which are independent of each other). From there you can assign specific amounts of memory and cpu threads (32 logical cpu threads) to each ldom. So instead of buy 10+ machines for each specific service you can divide a single box into multiple machines. Saves on space, power, etc.
Basically I just … Basically I just wanted to know how you use that power and nobody can give me a solid example apart from deathstar550
It doesn’t look like he’s computing a CGI kid’s show for TV or something and I KNOW he uses it for something, but nobody seems to know how he’d use that power or anything
Yes I know they use … Yes I know they use it for CGI animation and rendering, I do that as well! My point is, what does he use it for?
This is what I’m trying to say:
“Based on this video, you require 34 logical CPUs to type. More specifically, you need them to type commands into a terminal/DOS box.”
I have an idea for … I have an idea for what they could use all that power for. Or two. I might have even revealed them in my first post to you today. Maybe you should check.
I know companies … I know companies would have racks full of these and I also know they wouldn’t use it to play a game lol.. (btw you don’t need racks of these to have a render farm. A render farm can be anything like 2 dual core machines and a quad core like my one I have set up. Speeds up render times by 3x or so.) What I’m trying to say is that you don’t seem to be using it for anything at all.
I know that you use it, but from my current viewpoint, I have absolutely no idea what you’d use all that power for.
Compared to … Compared to commodity-level hardware, it might as well be. But seriously, a farm would have racks full of these, and they’d be put to doing far more productive work than simply playing a computer game. It’s serious big iron hardware.
I do use a program … I do use a program called Vue 7 xStream, it’s the program that the latest Indiana Jones movie used for their CGI & it uses all 4 cores when I render animations and it’s handy when I want to play crysis as well (because I practically have 2 dual cores.. ) but for what you did, all I could see you using it for is.. typing.
Do you like.. type in some extremely over-complex command just to start the OS (if there is one at all :/ ) or do you type in 57,134 commands just to use it from the network?
Scientific … Scientific computing uses tons of computing power. It’ll gobble up any kind of hardware you can throw at it and still be hungry for more. If you do any CG work (especially in animation), then you’ll be using tons too.
well it’s awesome … well it’s awesome and all, but WHAT THE do you use that for!? rofl
all that power and all you do with it is type stuff in, forgive my ignorance but I mean… seriously it’s such a waiste, do you actually do stuff with it? lol
if so, what?
please reply, I’m all of a sudden desperate to know how you use all that power
(same thing as having 16gb of ram on a mac, there’s just no point! amirite? )
16 gb ram, 32 logical processors $17,000 dollars
