Jrockit on Xeon 64 and AMD64

Does anybody have benchamarks comparing jrockit on comparable Xeon 64 and AMD 64 processors?
Thanks
Srinivas Surapaneni

I would look at www.spec.org and the tech web sites. They do tend to cover Intel vs AMD in great detail.
Some pointers:

Did you try to open the JRA recording with Mission Control from a JRockit installation older than P27.1.1? The Mission Control GUI can (almost) always read recordings from older JRockit versions, but not always from newer ones.
If you try this and it still doesn't work, mail the recording to jrockit-improve AT bea DOT com and I'll take a look.

Installation issues on Windows 2003, Xeon processor and Oracle 9.2 (64 bit)

Hi all,
I am using a xeon 4 CPU machine with Windows 2003 (64 bit). I just downloaded Oracle 9.2 (64 bit) and found that it needs Itanium processor. Is this an absolute requirement? Can I still run it on xeon? What are the problems?

Re: 64 bit Oracle on Windows: which one to use?

System crashes when attempting to install 10.6. Keeps asking to restart. Computer is a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and 2 GB Memory.

I have tried to install 10.6 and when install is complete it says restart. The computer restarts but keeps coming to a gray screen with a small black box that says to restart. The processor is 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 2 GB of memory. This should be more than adequate. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before? I had to restore 10.5 from Time Machine.

Your sig line says iMac, but TMK no iMacs were ever made with 2x2.66 GHz processors. Is this a Mac Pro you are installing on? Are you using a retail Snow Leopaard DVD?

JRockit 1.4.2_04 and Thinthreads

Hi,
I just upgraded to JRockit 1.4.2_04 from 1.4.1_x. With the latter one I used the -Xthinthreads option. Now JRockit tells me there wouldn't be such an option any longer.
Has this optioned been renamed or is there no thinthreads support any longer?! If so, why has it been removed?
Thanks!
Daniel

Thinthreads has been removed from JRockit which is why the option does not work. The reasons for removing thinthreads was that it provided a too small benefit compared to the engineering and testing resources required to keep it. Only in a small number of applications is the difference between thinthreads and nativethreads significant. There were also some problems in getting thinthreads to work reliably (especially on multiprocessor systems).
If you are running an application server with JRockit (typically WLS) you should not see much difference between nativethreads and thinthreads. In addition, nativethreads has been improved in later JRockit releases.

Weblogic 8.1 using JRockit 1.4.2_15 and XMLEncoder on 64-bit Linux

I am using Weblogic 8.1 sp6 with JRockit 1.4.2_15. When I call XMLEncoder the following exception below is thrown. When I use the Sun JDK, all is fine. We need to use JRockit. It appears that some awt shared library is not found. Further attempts to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH uncovered some additional information that impilied that s shared library libXp.so was missing or not referred to correctly (possibily in the start up script?). I have tried several attempts to fix this but haven't been able to do so. This works fine under WIndows and on 32-bit Linux. It appears to be something with the 64-bit Linux. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a library path problem. Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, maybe it includes a harcoded path to your Sun JDK installation which overrides whatever JRockit tries to load?
What Linux and JRockit version are you using?

XEON processor and more...?

Hi all together,
I work with CS5.5 and mostly with Premiere and Encore. I will probably update this version to the newest one.
I bought three years ago a workstation with Intel i5 processor with Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit). I was / am absolutely not satisfied with performance of the PC.
1) My first question is about cpu.
Now I'd like to buy a server/workstation with XEON processor. Because of high costs, I prefer to buy second hand XEON server/workstation. But I don't know exactly which XEON processor to be used with CS in a very good performance. Cany you suggest me a hardware?
2) My second question is about Microsoft Hyper V and Terminal Server.
Do you have any experiences to use CS in a Hyper V and in a Terminal Server environment? Troubles?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
Regards

Twinmos Winbond CH5 and AMD64

Hi all .
Just got my K8N NEO Platinum and will get a AMD64 3000+ (Newcastle,AX) on monday.
I have 2 sticks of Twinmos Winbond CH5 512MB,will these work with that setup?
Rest of comp in my sig.

Yea I am fairly new here, so far seems like a good place to be. Quick responses. No because everyone has the same mobo in this forum.
As for twinmos I think there is two models that DO work. Not sure which though..

Linux and AMD64

I'm a bit curious if anyone has dabbled with 64 bit linux on the K8T Neo. I think that will be my next purchase. At the same time, I am trying to move away from windows (as soon as I get Rainbox Six Three to work on linux, I am gone). I probably won't go 64 for about six months (more scholarship checks will come in then ). I would just like to know the experience anyone in the forum has had with it.

I have planned to only run Linux (Gentoo) on my AMD-64 once I get it. If you have any questions about Linux on the AMD-64 you should join up on #gentoo-amd64 on irc.freenode.net
Quite a lot of people there now, and very helpful. There's also a guide about installing a 64-bit gentoo at http://dev.gentoo.org/~brad_mssw/amd64-tech-notes.html
The support for graphics acceleration for ATI-cards is none existant, and the drivers for nVidia is beta at best, but at least nVidia is working on it. The ammount of applications that can be compiled 64-bit native is increasing fast. (Of course it's no problem at all installing 32-bit binaries)
/C.M

Combination of Twinmos and AMD64...

I've already got the memory and at the moment waiting for the NF 3 250GB mainboard, but will the memory works with the board? I'm not planning to overclock though, just with normal settings. Why I ask this? I've read in some forums that there will be compability problems with this combination. You guys have any experience with that combination with the VIA or NFORCE chipset?
Thank you!

Fastest overclock w MSI Neo2 Digital and AMD64 3000+ with OCZ 512 x 2 premier?

I was looking at a faster CPU and can't be bothered as they are costly and power hungry. I am looking at upgrading my platform with either of an Intel E8500 or the equivalent AMD cpu with an onboard video motherboard with HDMI...
but, for now, since I can't afford to upgrade at the moment, I was wondering if I could safely up my CPU to 2.4 GHZ or less. I have read people going to 2.4+ GHZ so I figure I could try going to 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 GHZ. The CPU is literally worth next to nothing, so it's worth a try. Any thoughts? If there are risks in overclocking close to the limits, I'll back it off to 2.2 or 2.3 GHZ, but, I should still see SOME improvement.
My Motherboard is an MSI Neo2 Platinum.
thanks,

You should give the full name of your MB in signature, I assume it's a K8N Neo2 Platinum. Same thing for vid card, GTS without number doesn't say much (example of mine: 9600 GT). It's possible as you said to get it to 2.4 but some systems will OC better than others so you just have to go for it and see what you come up with. Keep an eye on CPU temp when attempting any OC.
Read what you can about OCing it and then if any more questions or have any problems post back here and we'll help the best we can.

Oracle and processor xeon

HI,
I want to install oracle 9.2.0.4 on a serveur with a processor xeon EM64T and the system is Redhat ES 3.
What is the version of oracle that i need (oracle for linux x86-64 or oracle for linux ia64 ?)
Because, with the oracle for linux x86-64, i have always the error : ld cant find cr1t.o. the installer dont take the library in /usr/lib64, it take the library only in /usr/lib.
if anyone have an idea ?
regard

Hmm.. unbreakable support strikes again?
MetaLink Certify says status "Certified"...
BUT under additional info it says "9.2 is only certified on AMD64. EM64T is projected" Great.
Since 10g does not have this extra note, maybe big-O just forgot to mention it does not actually work? ;-)

JRockit and Windows 2003 x64

Hi! We are planning to switch to Windows 2003 Server x64 based on EMT64 technology. We are currently running Platform 8.1 products. As I can see there's only a 32 bit version of JRockit available for 1.4.2_x jdk. For java 5 and 6 a special EMT64 version is available (when going to downloads). My questions are:
* Will an EMT64 version be available for 1.4.2.x (8.1 product range)?
* How much heap can the 32 bit version allocate on Windows x64 (EMT64)?

Thanks for the answer Henrik! We are going for the following setup:
HP DL 360 with 2xDual Core Xeon CPU and 16 GB RAM
Windows 2003 Standard Edition 64 bit
JRockit 1.4.2_14 (R27.3) 32 bit
2 JVMs pr. machine with approx. 2.5-3.5 GB HEAP each
BEA Platform 8.1 SP6
The servers will primarily execute web service calls (jws type). Also some WLI processes will run here.
We have noticed that web service processing (parsing) constructs a lot of objects.
And now to my question:
Are there any JVM settings you would recommend or is out-of-the-box settings sufficient? Specifically in a scenario where a lot of object creation occurs.

Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

I read the thread Widows 7 printer
HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now
as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg).
Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
Why aren't there x64 drivers?
During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)

P.S. I was advised to come for help here from
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-x64-cant-readinstall-any-printer-drivers/4e7d06e1-33a5-4597-be70-4fdc087a63a7?msgId=9a045994-0d31-4d40-b17d-dba372393ee4

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
message (probably the same one mentioned above).
