o VM changes in DragonFly reduces Memory usage considerably http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/2011/10/29/8604.html o More multi-core improvements "Matthew Dillon wrote up an explanation of how performance on systems with a lot of CPU cores has been significantly improved – up to 300%! (He says 200%, but I think he’s treating it as a percentage of a whole rather than percent changed.) Apparently finally getting rid of lock contention is the trick." by Justin Sherrill http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/commits/2011-10/msg00138.html o You can now have, in theory, up to 32 terabytes of RAM on your 64-bit DragonFly system. http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/commits/2011-11/msg00067.html o Postgres Scaling Improvements http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/2011/10/31/8615.html _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
