From my impressions of the Niagra design, it seems intended to run simple
highly multi-threaded stuff, at the expense of single-thread performance.
This probably works very well for several traditional server-type
applications.
However, SRSS is basically desktop consolidation, running desktop-type
applications. Desktop applications tend to be more suited to fast
single-thread performance. Though with the trend towards scaling CPUs
horizontally rather than vertically just starting in the desktop-space,
this may eventually change.
Just my $0.02...

They had one setup at the Usenix conference this week. I asked the engineer
there about SRSS on it, and he said that it was one of the ideal applications
for this server. It certainly has potential, but I'd really like to set one
up and test it (or at least hear from somebody who has) before I'd consider
purchasing any for this purpose.

Hi
Has an one got their hands on one of Suns new CoolThreads Servers?
I would imagine that SRSS would run well on one of these machines.
