New to Sun's price list are ClearSpeed's Advance accelerator boards. Designed for high performance computing applications, these boards are minimal power consumers and can be deployed in servers, clusters and workstations to boost performance efficiently.
Darryl Gove explores the question of whether there is a performance benefit proportional to the number of processors assigned work in his article "Calculating Processor Utilisation From the UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 Performance Counters." Gove's study involves using performance counters to estimate core load and identify potential areas for performance improvement.
Find out more about the UltraSPARC T2 hardware cryptographic features and the three drivers that expose them, as well as how to use the built-in hardware accelerators of the Sun Fire T2000 Server in two recent Sun blogs.
