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, 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 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 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.

[super6plx]

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?

[ripratm4]

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.

[super6plx]

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 :(
