Agreed. I have seen FF3 scorch the CPU when no flash is running.

Then again, one of the issues with tabbed browsing is that if we are not careful, we can have 20 or more tabs running before you know it, each running something "hot".....

Frankly speaking, after running Opera for a week or so, I have scorched the CPU on my laptop on at least one occasion. So, I am not 100% sure if the problem is isolated to FF3, as I am starting to see a similar condition on Opera Smilie

1. UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers

The OPERA browser

I have just seen someone using the OPERA browser - it looks quite good and seems to have a friendly GUI. Can I get this for UNIX(Solaris 8 is my OS)??? Does anyone have this installed on their UNIX workstation?? How is it performing?? All comments and advice is welcome!!

2. AIX

lvm_queryvg call does not work properly and results in a sudden memory rise.

On AIX 5.3 host, the lvm_queryvg call does not work properly and results in a sudden memory rise. This is happening on one particular host and the call works fine on another host. Is this a known issue and is there any patch available for this?

Opera 9.5 for Sparc

Has anyone gotten Opera 9.5 to work? I'm using Solaris Sparc 5.10. The browser is unusable. It crashes even when viewing Opera's Desktop Team blog. I've asked Opera about this, but no reply. I've never been able to get the 9.5 betas to work either. From one Opera user's blog, I don't see any...

Sudden rise in heap memory of a process

Hi, There is a abrupt memory rise observed for a process on solaris. When the process is started the memory is around 268 MB and is stable for a day. Then suddenly the memory increased to 4364 MB. Below is the pmap -xs output for the process (only for heap) Address Kbytes ...

LAMNODES(1)							     LAM TOOLS							       LAMNODES(1)

NAME

       lamnodes - Resolve LAM node/CPU notation to Unix hostnames.

SYNOPSIS

       lamnodes [-chin] [where]

OPTIONS

       -c	   Suppress printing the CPU count for each node.

       -h	   Print the command help menu.

       -i	   Print IP addresses (instead of IP names)

       -n	   Suppress printing CPU count for each node

DESCRIPTION

       The  lamnodes command is used to resolve LAM node/CPU nomenclature to Unix hostnames.  It can be used to determine the current running con-
       figuration of the LAM/MPI run-time environment, and generate a boot schema that can be used to launch LAM in the future.

       By default, lamnodes will print out the node number, default IP name, CPU count, and per-node flags for	each  node  in	the  running  LAM.
       gethostbyaddr(3) is used to obtain default hostnames.  If gethostbyaddr(3) fails, the IP number is displayed instead.

       This  command  can be used by setup shell scripts (and the like) to determine information from a currently-running LAM universe.  For exam-
       ple, use lamnodes to resolve particular CPUs and/or nodes to specific unix hostnames.  In a batch environment,  lamnodes  can  be  used	to
       determine which CPUs share a common node (note that MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME can be used for a similar effect in an MPI program).

       lamnodes also shows per-node flags.  Currently defined flags are:

       origin	   The node where lamboot was executed.

       this_node   The node where lamnodes is running.

       no_schedule The node will not be used to run MPI and serial processes when N and C are used to mpirun and lamexec.

EXAMPLES

       lamnodes N -n
	   Display IP names and CPU counts for all nodes.  This output can be saved and later used with lamboot(1).

       lamnodes C -n -c
	   Display  the  IP  name  of the nodes containing each CPU, and suppress the LAM node number and CPU count.  This output can be saved and
	   later used with lamboot(1).
