What applications will work best for CMT-based designs?
CMT based processors are designed for the thread-rich network computing environment. These processors maximize application throughput by processing multiple threads simultaneously on a single chip. Vertically-scaled, multi-threading applications benefit from having access to more threads, while horizontally-scaled, single -threading (or limited multi-threading) applications benefit from being able to run multiple instances in Solaris Containers on a single machine. As a result, almost all commercial applications such as database, web-based services, transaction processing, application serving, data-mining, ERP and CRM etc. potentially benefit from CMT.
