Default T2000 series and statistical software
Hi,
I work for a group that primarily uses our servers for statistical
analysis. We mostly use SAS, Stata, Matlab, et al.

We're trying to plan for upgrades to our existing older servers
(v880s, 440s) and I am wondering if anyone out there has any
experience with the T2000 series as replacements for systems that pull
this kind of duty.

If so, how does the T2000 compare in performance?

tia,
-y
(woof)

Is floating point performance important? If it is, wait for the new SPARC
chips with a FP unit per core rather than one shared between all the cores.
