OpenSolaris 2008.05 vs. OpenSolaris 2008.11 Benchmarks
Seven months after the release of OpenSolaris 2008.05 (a.k.a. Project Indiana) its successor was finally released earlier this week. OpenSolaris 2008.11 was released on Tuesday with many updated packages and new features. To see how this new work has affected the performance of Sun's OpenSolaris operating system, we have benchmarked both releases through some different tests.
For these tests we used the Phoronix Test Suite, specifically Tydal 1.6.0 Alpha 2. The tests used included Gzip compression, Tandem XML, Sunflow Rendering System, Bork File Encrypter, and Java SciMark. Due to some issues with OpenSolaris 2008.05, some of the other tests found in the Nevada test suite were left out.
For testing we used an AMD Phenom 9500 quad-core processor, ECS A790GXM-A motherboard, 2GB of OCZ Reaper HPC DDR2-800MHz memory, Western Digital 160GB SATA HDD, and ECS GeForce 8800GT 256MB.
