Although I respond to Alan appraently it didn't get posted here. I am comparing
a cluster of Sun Blade 2000's with a cluster of Ultra-24's Even though the
clock speed of the Ultra-24 is nearly 3 times that of the Blade 2000 the run
times for WRF-DA are nearly the same ( 5% difference). Since I
Actually I think there are quite a few of us sparc users who would rather not
give up performance and reliability for the really lackluster performance and
problems associated with Solaris-X86 and intel in general

Actually a request for a single utility got you a bunch of c**p that wasn't
necessary spread into places that made it difficult to remove once you found
out the utility you thought you wanted dropped a core. Using mtx as an example;
mtx doesn't have a lot of dependencies and can be built with a
There were enough problems with how the stuff from blastwave/csw was packaged
to make it distasteful to use, this simply puts the last nail in the coffin.
For the most part I build everything from the source, for those that I don't
really want to take the time to build I'll go to
sunfreeware: YES!!
blastwave: HELL NO!!
From blastwave a simple package install turns into a download fest. From
sunfreeware you download the package you want, install it and it works. From
blastwave the package you want requires that you download just about
everything that blastwave has
Why is releasing Solaris under GPL a good thing? I see only bad happening.

Well let's start with
WRF
MM5
GrADS
hysplit4
SCIPUF
CALPUF
SLU-DRAS
SLU-STAPUF
The above come built default with multiprocessor support. I don't think any of
them even suggest that a single core is a useful option. I just finished a
debug run of SLU-STAPUF to test new options for GIS
I guess you didn't understand me. The price you suggested was 100% more than
retail. I paid list price for 2 Ultra-10's and I paid less than what you
suggested for one machine.

I just bought a Sun Ultra-24. It is a Quad-core 2.4ghz box with 4gb of memory
250gb of disk and a garbage nvidia card for $1300. Unfortunately you cann't buy
the better performing Ultrasparc's at this proce point

And Indiana is pushing me away from Solaris. If I wanted the poorly thought out
and unstable crap that comes the linux mindset I would just go with linux. I am
looking for something that is well thought out and stable

Integer performance is the only place where the opteron is better. In this case
I mean compiles. Floating point performance on a dual 1ghz U3 is better than
the 2.2ghz dual opteron. In this case MM5 run times are comparable (within 10
seconds for a 72 hour run time) WRF run times were actually
So you your university was paying a 100% premium for hardware. I bought two
full tricked out U10 directly from the Sun website when they first came out for
less than that

Based on the dual-core Opteron win 8gb of memory, dual SATA with an Nvidia
graphics card, you MAY find the CPU performance better, BUT the disk and video
will be awful. I've been disappointed with everything but the integer
performance on my x86 box

To make sure you understand. I started with a PDP-11/45, an rm-03, a tu-66 and
Unix V7. My current home computer is a Sun Ultra-24 which has SUSE-10, Ubuntu
Hardy-Heron and Solaris-10 installed. I don't care for Ubuntu's we know more
than you do installation and packaging system.I don't care
I thought it was a mistake to bring any sort of linux flavoring into Solaris
and I won't deal with anything that has to do with Indiana or any other attempt
to make Solaris look/act like linux. I use Solaris because it is Unix, is
stable and meets some minimum standards for useability. Linux is
