  • Solaris 10 End of Life
    Solaris 10 end of life Continue Oracle Solaris 10 has had an amazing OS update, including ground features such as zones (Solaris containers), FSS, Services, Dynamic Tracking (against live production operating systems without impact), and logical domains. These features have been imitated in the market (imitation is the best form of flattery!) like all good things, they have to come to an end. Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle and eventually, the largest OS known to the industry, needs to be updated. Oracle has set a retirement date of January 2021. Oracle indicated that Solaris 10 systems would need to raise support costs. Oracle has never provided migratory tools to facilitate migration from Solaris 10 to Solaris 11, so migration to Solaris has been slow. In September 2019, Oracle decided that extended support for Solaris 10 without an additional financial penalty would be delayed until 2024! Well its March 1 is just a reminder that Oracle Solaris 10 is getting the end of life regarding support if you accept extended support from Oracle. Combined with the fact gdpR should take effect on May 25, 2018 you want to make sure that you are either upgraded to Solaris 11.3 or have taken extended support to obtain any patches for security issues.

When the initial load Threading (SMT) or Virtual Multi-Threading (VMT) arrives, the processor resumes execution from the architectures. Although reportedly large cache checkpointed state.

  • Day 2, 1640: Leveraging Opensparc
    Leveraging OpenSPARC ESA Round Table 2006 on Next Generation Microprocessors for Space Applications G.Furano, L.Messina – TEC-EDD OpenSPARC T1 • The T1 is a new-from-the-ground-up SPARC microprocessor implementation that conforms to the UltraSPARC architecture 2005 specification and executes the full SPARC V9 instruction set. Sun has produced two previous multicore processors: UltraSPARC IV and UltraSPARC IV+, but UltraSPARC T1 is its first microprocessor that is both multicore and multithreaded. • The processor is available with 4, 6 or 8 CPU cores, each core able to handle four threads. Thus the processor is capable of processing up to 32 threads concurrently. • Designed to lower the energy consumption of server computers, the 8-cores CPU uses typically 72 W of power at 1.2 GHz. G.Furano, L.Messina – TEC-EDD 72W … 1.2 GHz … 90nm … • Is a cutting edge design, targeted for high-end servers. • NOT FOR SPACE USE • But, let’s see which are the potential spin-in … G.Furano, L.Messina – TEC-EDD Why OPEN ? On March 21, 2006, Sun made the UltraSPARC T1 processor design available under the GNU General Public License. The published information includes: • Verilog source code of the UltraSPARC T1 design, including verification suite and simulation models • ISA specification (UltraSPARC Architecture 2005) • The Solaris 10 OS simulation images • Diagnostics tests for OpenSPARC T1 • Scripts, open source and Sun internal tools needed to simulate the design and to do synthesis of the design • Scripts and documentation to help with FPGA implementation

GFDL David Pauillac c novembre 2007 - OpenSolaris et la sécurité Avant-propos À propos du document Ce document, à l’origine, était destiné aux étudiants de master2 SSI de l’université de Sud, Toulon et du Var. Cependant, j’espère qu’il pourra ser- vir aussi aux administrateurs devant (ou désirant) utiliser un système basé sur OpenSolaris (tel que le système de Sun Microsystem, Solaris, largement répandu). Il m’a semblé intéressant de comparer, lorsque celà est nécessaire, OpenSo- laris et GNU/Linux ; en effet, ce dernier est bien plus connu dans le monde universitaire que le système ouvert de Sun Microsystem. Ainsi, le but de ce document n’est pas de remplacer la documentation fournie avec le système Solaris, mais juste de fournir des informations impor- tantes pour installer, configurer et sécuriser un système basé sur OpenSolaris, que ce soit sur un serveur ou sur une station de travail. Pour toute remarque ou question, vous pouvez contacter l’auteur à l’adresse suivante: [email protected] En introduction, il m’a semblé important de retracer brièvement l’histoire des systèmes UNIX ainsi que de traiter certains points théoriques de ce type de systèmes d’exploitation.
