Several knowledgeable hands at Sun have collaborated in preparing the Sun BluePrints Online document "The Solaris Operating System Optimized -- for the AMD Opteron Processor." The authors state their intention was to create a quick reference guide for developers and system administrators who want to optimize applications running on Solaris and AMD Opteron processors. The paper describes technical details about specific features and capabilities that can be implemented in the Solaris ecosystem to make the best use of multicore AMD Opteron processors.

Increase performance per watt by up to 34% from quad-core AMD Opteron processors with the new six-core processors in the Sun Fire X4140, X4240 and X4440 servers. The six cores provide better performance and power efficiency when running multi-threaded applications, and the AMD Opteron processors incorporate HyperTransport Technology Assist (HT Assist) and Coherent HyperTransport 3.0 Technology (cHT3) - all of which help boost performance. Additionally, Sun is offering 8 GB DIMMs as an option for Sun Fire X2270 servers.
