Thank you. That is useful to know. Do you know what is the fastest of the SPARC?
I did have an account on there, but seem to have forgotten my password! I
believe there is a Blade 2500. I don't know the speed of that particular model,
but know the CPUs in a Blade can be either 1.28 or 1.6 GHz.
Perhaps there is something faster I don't know about, but a Blade 2500 is a
pretty old machine. But it should be two or three times quicker than 't2'.

Yes, congratulations!
Thank you Marshall.
Hopefully, Solaris can soon become "fully supported" if all tests
are passing.
As long as the releases are handled carefully, and code not
committed that breaks on Solaris, we should be able to get
OpenSolaris building.
Having a faster machine than 't2' on sage.math would be really nice.
It's a real shame, as 't2' is capable of very high performance at
low power consumption for the tasks it is designed for, but I find
using a 10-year old machine quicker for Sage development.
Once OpenSolaris is up and running, we could put it in a VM on boxen,
and use it as part of the build farm. Of course that won't be a true
Sparc solaris machine, but unless someone has extra money/hardware
laying around it'll probably be a more realistic solution that waiting
on t2 throughout the whole release management process.
