Episode 18 - Building Big Systems with OpenSolaris & Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series -
David Stewart explains when bigger really is better, and what they've been doing to make the Intel Xeon processor the best choice for running OpenSolaris or Solaris. Learn about the added support for the X2APIC, new in the latest Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem), which allows you to expand system addressability from 256 processors to 4 billion (minus 1). Plus other features built into the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series which are now enabled in Solaris and OpenSolaris that are important to building big systems.
