- ROSS's hyperSPARC chip will work on Solaris 1.1 (SunOS 4.1.3) with a ROSS patch.
- The improved speed increase with SS20 model 61 with the 150Mhz (512Kb cache)
module can be twice as much.
- There may be a down fall installing the chip on a RDBMS machine, since the
chip has only 512KB cache over the 1MB of the SuperSPARC, but on the other
hand performace increase can be great with floating point work.
- I will be going ahead with the evaluation and I will summaries my results
when it is over.
- Also, the UK dealer which I am dealing with is:
