bug(?) and avague initial benchmarks
by suseamd64＠rgare.com 14 Aug '03

hello list -- not sure if this is the right place to point this out, but in case it is: /etc/ssh/sshd_config Subsystem sftp /usr./lib/ssh/sftp-server s/b Subsystem stftp /usr/lib64/ssh/sftp-server also, a preliminary java single thread (thus single proc?) benchmark came back with an 18% improvment on a 244 proc oerver a xeon 2.6. no additional info atm, but it seems to bode well imo, especially considering we have more optimizing to do and also that 1.4.2 will bring about 64-bit support to the jvm...@!!! when we get more benchmark results, i'll be sure to get more detail. thanks, -- john

Amd Athlon 64 Availability
by Filipe Joel Almeida 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hi, Does anybody know when will AMD Athlon 64 be available? Also, can you tell me if all versions of Suse support 64 bits, or only the server versions? What are the best gains from using a 64 bit architecture? Thanks in advance, Filipe Joel de Almeida

Next try... booted sles64 - time is 08:25 open KDE "ajust date/time" and just press ok... now is 15:26 and UTC instead PDT (time zone - not selected) reboot BIOS - 15:26 boot 64 bit sles time is 08:00 PDT (KDE date applet) jusk press ok.... now is 15:01 UTC reboot BIOS - 15:02 boot 32 bit sles time is 08:03 PDT reboot boot 64 bit sles time is 06:39.... :(((( __________ www.newmail.ru -- бесплатная почта, бесплатный хостинг.

time/date changes independently

I running SLES i386 and AMD64 on Rioworks and MSI motherboards with AMD Opteron. If I set date/time on booted system and then reboot, I have date changed (for example form 9 Aug to 20 May). When running WinXP on same system(s) all works fine. It's bug or feature? :) __________ www.newmail.ru -- всегда что-то новое.

8.2 x86-64 and vmware 4.x?
by Rich McClellan 09 Aug '03

09 Aug '03

Hello und Servus! I would like to install VMWare v4.0 on a linux box (dual opteron) running SuSE v. 8.2. The VMWare installation script chokes on the differences between the running kernel and the header files. Are the header files for the SMP kernel available? thanks, Rich

thanks for the help Andreas... > SLES8 ? Or that old 8.1? SuSE SLES-8 (AMD64) VERSION = 8.1 > There's no 64-bit Java out there (except GCJ which is part of GCC). Does this mean that at this moment in time there is no advantage to compiling java apps for 64-bit w/ the GCJ since the JVM that runs them is still 32 bit? > Hope you get some good numbers - feel free to share them here us down in systems are just planning on running some simple tests, but the in-house-app devs have a whole slew of tests they're gonna run, so i'll round up the results and post em here :) thanks, -- john

newbie questions
by suseamd64＠rgare.com 08 Aug '03

hello list :D we just got an opteron 244 server we're going to be using for benchmarking an in-house app against other architectures... we're running suse 8.1 i'll cut to the chase: 1) is the default compile/build behavior to take advantage of amd64 (ie: if i d/l the apache tarball and compile it, do i need to do anything special?) 2) is the default jvm modified to take advantage of amd64, or do i have to wait for the linux/jvm team to release their version of 1.4.2, or something else? (reported build is: 1.3.1, J2RE 1.3.1 IBM build cxia32131-20020622) that's it for now, but i'll prolly have more later... sorry if the questions are a little low-brow, but we all gotta start somewhere :) TIA -- john

AMD64 vs. wine
by Stephen Williams 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

I have the occasional Windows software that I would like to run on my Opteron. I use WINE under Linux/Intel, but it seems like I might be able to get WINE to work on Linux/x86-64. Is this a reasonable hope? -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."

top command over 4GB.
by Yoshiki YAMAGUCHI 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hello and guten Tag, I have tested the HPL (High-Performance Linpack) benchmark on dual Opteron 240 with 8GB memory. SuSE 8.2 is very good because I could compile the benchmark and run it using memory over 3GB per process (x86's limitation). Then I noticed that the top command show false information when a process used memory over 4GB. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- top - 17:40:34 up 1 day, 54 min, 3 users, load average: 0.99, 0.97, 0.91 Tasks: 54 total, 2 running, 52 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 50.0% user, 2.1% system, 0.0% nice, 47.9% idle Mem: 8070816k total, 7829320k used, 241496k free, 106696k buffers Swap: 2048276k total, 0k used, 2048276k free, 503844k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ Command 4047 yoshiki 25 0 2780m 2.7g 2036 R 99.9 35.3 123:36.30 xhpl 4226 root 16 0 1048 1048 800 R 4.2 0.0 0:01.56 top 1 root 15 0 256 256 208 S 0.0 0.0 0:07.96 init 2 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration_CPU0 3 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration_CPU1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The xhpl process is using about 7GB memory. However, top command shows 2780m on VIRT and 2.7g on RES. So there is a turnup at 4GB. It is small problem since the process run well (performed 2.48GFLOPS). regards, Yoshiki Yamaguchi -- Yoshiki Yamaguchi SofTek Systems, Inc. yoshiki(a)softek.co.jp
