Oracle OpenWorld 2018

Want to learn more about the Oracle Solaris and SPARC update? Attend my  session:     

Oracle Solaris and SPARC technologies are developed through Oracle’s unique vision of coengineering operating systems and hardware together with Oracle Database, Java, and enterprise applications. Discover the advanced features that secure application data with less effort, implement end-to-end encryption, streamline compliance assessment, simplify management of virtual machines, and accelerate performance for Oracle Database and middleware. In this session learn how SPARC/Solaris engineered systems and servers deliver continuous innovation and investment protection to organizations in their journey to the cloud, see examples of cloud-ready infrastructure, and learn Oracle’s strategy for future enhancements for Oracle Solaris and SPARC systems.

SPEAKERS

Bill Nesheim, Senior Vice President, Oracle Solaris Development, Oracle

Oracle OpenWorld 2013 Day 1

Had a fantastic day one at Oracle OpenWorld.

Here is the Collier IT group watching Mr. Ellison’s kickoff.

From the Engineered Systems perspective the big announcement day 1 was the SPARC M6 – Terabyte Scale Computing.

Some of the specifics/features
12 S3 Cores running @3.6 GHz
48MB shared L3 Cache
Scalable to 32 processors
2 integrated 2×8 PCIe 3.0
4.27 billion transistors
3 Terabytes per second bandwidth
1.4 Terabytes per second memory bandwidth
1 Terabyte per second I/O bandwidth
384 cores
3072 threads
32 Terabyte system memory

This thing is quite the beast.

We were told that the M7/T7 chip is running in the lab now. It extends the software on silicon to include:
Database query acceleration
Application data protection
Java acceleration
Data decompression

The first day shows us that Oracle continues it’s growth in the SPARC space. Exciting things coming real soon in the Solaris/SPARC world.
