[cfarm-announces] New sparc64 machines: Linux (cfarm105) and Solaris 11.4 (cfarm106)

[CFarm Annoucements]

The Compile Farm project is happy to announce two new sparc64 LDOMs,
each with 32 dedicated threads, 32GB memory, and 1.5TB of disk.
They are hosted on a SPARC T4-2 server.

One runs Debian on Linux 6.3, and the other runs Oracle Solaris 11.4.

The Linux system, cfarm105, replaces gcc102 (a SPARC T3-2* that
suffered from irreparable hardware problems and is being removed from
its data center today). All user accounts and data have been migrated.

The Solaris system, cfarm106, is the Farm's first Solaris 11.4 machine
and we hope it will prove interesting and useful. It has been set up
with a substantial number of Oracle-provided developer tools,
including Rust 1.61, LLVM 14, and GCC 12. The OpenCSW package
manager has been installed as well.

We are in the process of transitioning to our own domain name,
cfarm.net, online now at:

  * ssh -p 2202 cfarm105.cfarm.net (Linux)
  * ssh -p 2203 cfarm106.cfarm.net (Solaris)

An announcement with details about our new domain, website, and
other project-related matters will be made soon. Please consider
switching to cfarmNNN.cfarm.net from gccNNN.fsffrance.org for all
machines as soon as possible. The "old" subdomains will continue
to work but may not be updated.

These sparc64 systems are hosted and managed by Adélie Linux.
Thanks to ylibc.org for hosting gcc102 for the last 3 years.

* Compared to the T3 (in-order execution), the T4 (out-of-order)
  has much better single-threaded performance.
