What is your experience with Sun CoolThreads technology?

My project has some money to spend before the end of the fiscal year and we are considering replacing a Sun-Fire-V490 server we've had for a few years. One option we are looking at is the CoolThreads technology. All I know is the Sun marketing, which may not be 100% unbiased. Has anyone actually played with one of these? I suspect it...

Kenai invites: where to get them?

Recently, Sun launched a new hosting site, like SourceForge and GitHub, but for Mercurial. However, for the time being, it's invite-only. Being a Hg user, I'm very interested in getting an invite, but I have no idea where to find them. Are only Sun-employees given invitations to hand out? What can one do to earn such an invite? ...

How do I remove loadbalancer pollution from my access logs

I have a pair of Sun web servers (iws6) sitting behind a load balancer. It likes to know if the web servers are up and continually asks for /alive.html. That is fine but how do I not log that in my access log? Failing that, how could I have the archiver strip out that accesses when it roles the file over? I would prefer something more ...

dTrace scripts and tools

I've recently began using dTrace and have noticed just how awesome it is. Its the perfect tool for profiling without placing the burden on programmers to set up hundreds of probes in their applications. I've found some nice one liner and sample scripts here and there, but I was wondering about what scripts, tools and links others might ...

Sun Solaris IDE/Source Control Choices

At my new job I'm getting acclimated with the IDE we have Visual SlickEdit 8.0 installed on our sun solaris workstation that we telnet into(lol yes ssh is turned off). Now it does the basics but is missing many things I considered must haves like code hiding and parenthesis matching. Are there any alternatives to constantly ftping my wo...

Does anyone have a link to Sun's name mangling patent?

I've seen a lot of mentions like this one that Sun has patented their name mangling scheme for C++. It's certainly true that Sun's name mangling is much more efficient than the scheme used by IBM's xlC compiler, for example. But I can't find the actual patent anywhere. Does anyone have the patent #, or a link to the patent? Thanks! ...

Are invisible references still a problem in recent JVMs?

I was reading Java Platform Performance and section A.3.3 worried me. I had been working on the assumption that a variable that dropped out of scope would no longer be considered a GC root, but this paper appears to contradict that. Do recent JVMs, in particular Sun's 1.6.0_07 version, still have this limitation? If so, then I have a l...
