Max Alt, Intel
"Nehalem and OpenSolaris: more than the sum of their parts"

Intel and Sun have worked over last two years to enable leading edge Intel technology features in OpenSolaris. The session will discuss the key features of the recently launched Intel Xeon 5500 processor (code named Nehalem) and focus on how new Intel technologies are enabled in Open Solaris. The talk will discuss how energy and power efficiency features in Nehalem combine with advanced scheduler optimizations in OpenSolaris. Several additional improvements in OpenSolaris will also be covered including NUMA optimizations, new instruction support, and scalability enhancements that lead to world class performance and power efficiency with OpenSolaris on Intel based platforms.
