Developing for OpenSolaris

By David Stewart (Intel) (138 posts) on October 13, 2007 at 6:52 am

This weekend, I'm at the OpenSolaris Developers Summit in Santa Cruz, CA. This is a small gathering of developers (limited to 100) focused on getting the next major evolution of OpenSolaris ready and to spread news about work that has already happened.

If anyone wants to meet up at the Summit, let me know!

Tim Scanlon		 Hey it is interesting to go to the open source page looking for Solaris related libraries and compiler stuffs...

Any way you guys could see your way clear to port some of your high performance libraries to opensolaris?

I think it'd be a good match with some of your code, if for no other reason than the thread cost is so much lower on solaris than linux.

 I know someone is working on a Solaris port of one of the threading libraries, the Threading Building Blocks (TBB). This is a tool for C++ programmers to help them thread their code.

As for the other tools / libraries I know there are discussions happening all the time. When you say thread cost is lower on Solaris vs Linux, how might I show this? Is there some workload which demonstrates it?
