Keywords: Hardware Message-ID: <1756@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 27 Sep 89 17:28:57 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 9 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 8, Issue 140, message 11 of 13 I am looking into using a SUN 4/390 as a timesharing compute server. This machine would often have several cpu-intensive tasks running as well as a typical (light) timesharing mix of 20-50 users. Does anyone have any experience running a SUN-4 in this type of environment? I realize there are not too many 4/390s out there, how about people using 4/280s? Problems, performance, memory issues?
