I stumbled accross this forum and was pleased by the very fair benchmark suite. I ran on my cheap desktop replacement laptop.. luckily I wasn't too penalized by disk tests for having a 5400RPM HDD. Not too shabby for a laptop.

Anyone have tips on configuring the 2.6.10 kernel to take full advantage of dual 2.4 Ghz Xeons?
I'm not getting expected benchmark results.... and seemingly was better off with a single 2600+ AMD processor. (1 Reply)
Interesting issue. There was some discussion on the LKML last year regarding the potential problems in concurrent applications reusing file descriptors in various scenarios. The main issue is that the reuse of a file descriptor and reception of data in a threaded application can be confused pretty... (1 Reply)

I want to set-up Solaris on my Intel PC for training purposes. Ideally, I'd like to run Solaris within an emulator or in a dual-boot partition. Can anyone give me some suggestions to send me in the right direction? Thanks so much.

ntb
NTB(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NTB(4)NAME
ntb, ntb_hw, if_ntb -- Intel(R) Non-Transparent Bridge driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device ntb_hw
device if_ntb
Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_ntb_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ntb driver provides support for the Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) in the Intel S1200, Xeon E3 and Xeon E5 processor families.
The NTB allows you to connect two computer systems using a PCI-e link if they have the correct equipment and connectors.
CONFIGURATION
The NTB memory windows need to be configured by the BIOS. If your BIOS allows you to set their size, you should set the size of both memory
windows to 1 MiB. This needs to be done on both systems.
Each system needs to have a different IP address assigned. The MAC address is randomly generated. Also for maximum performance, the MTU
should be set to 16 kiB. This can be done by adding the line below to rc.conf(5):
ifconfig_ntb0="inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 16384"
And on the second system :
ifconfig_ntb0="inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 16384"
If you are using the UDP protocol, you may want to increase the net.inet.udp.maxdgram sysctl(8) variable.
SEE ALSO rc.conf(5), sysctl(8)AUTHORS
The ntb driver was developed by Intel and originally written by Carl Delsey <carl@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
If the driver is unloaded, it cannot be reloaded without a system reboot.
The network support is limited. It isn't fully configurable yet. It also isn't integrated into netgraph(4) or bpf(4).
NTB to Root Port mode is not yet supported.
There is no way to protect your system from malicious behavior on the other system once the link is brought up. Anyone with root or kernel
access on the other system can read or write to any location on your system. In other words, only connect two systems that completely trust
each other.
