What is Suns competitive advantage to deliver Throughput Computing?
Sun is uniquely positioned to deliver the most sophisticated implementations of Throughput Computing: • Sun’s multithreaded SMP based systems are already providing optimal solutions for the thread-rich network computing environments today, utilizing the industry-leading threading capabilities in the Solaris OS. Because our CMT processors are based on our UltraSPARC product line and Solaris OS, this enables our customers to seamlessly transition to CMT-processor based systems without disrupting their SW model. • CMT processors also need lots of memory to support such computational capacity. 64-bit addressability like the UltraSPARC processor offers a significant benefit over the addressing limitations of a 32 bit processor. Only 64-bit architectures like that of the UltraSPARC processor can fully realize the potential of Throughput Computing. • For such a heavily threaded environment, one needs an operating system capable of handling and scheduling multiple threads.
