Solaris and Linux system information.
Hey,
I have a program that takes more time on a solaris machine than on a linux machine. So I guess the best way to know whats going on is to compare the two systems ? CPU and Memory ? Is there any other parameter that I should look at ?
So on the linux box I ran:
And on the Solaris:
So I guess the fact that the CPU on linux box is 2.80GHz and on solaris box is 900 MHz made the difference ? lets assume that the system load on both the machines was the same.
What other commands can I use to get system information to diagnose these kind of problems.
Ive heard of intel processors but what is that sparcv9 processor on my solaris box? Is it only used on solaris machines ?
Also, on my linux box:
Processor and Machine is i686, but hardware platform is i386. Whats the difference ?
Thanks in advance for any kind of input

install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system SYNOPSIS
install-solaris install-solaris invokes the Solaris Install program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation, install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer. The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation: For SPARC machines: 128 MB Minimum physical memory for all installation types 128 MB Minimum physical memory required for windowing system 384 MB Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation For x86 machines: 256 MB Minimum physical memory for all installation types 256 MB Minimum physical memory required for windowing system 512 MB Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number of fea- tures available. install-solaris exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the for more details. install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the installation media. Refer to the for disk space requirements. Refer to the for more information on the various menus and selections.
