Oracle’s SPARC T5 and M5 Benchmarks: Lather, Rinse, Repeat
I think I’ve said this before but one of my most absolute favorite movies is Groundhog Day. (Attention: spoiler is coming but since the fricking movie is from 1993 and most of us were old even way back then, I don’t think I will be ruining it for anyone.) Groundhog Day is an American comedy […]

Oracle’s New T5 TPC-C: Where’s the SPARC?, Part II
With Oracle’s new SPARC server announcement today, we are all still waiting in anticipation (take your pick of Rocky Horror or Carole King) for something exciting.

Is Oracle Fleecing You?
A couple of days ago, I bought a new fleece hiking jacket. In small, in black, on sale. With a hood. Made by a high end manufacturer whose name evokes a part of a mountain. The plush is luxuriously thick, the zipper hardware is incredible, and the tailoring just feels so right. I had tried [...]

The Benchmark Games: Oracle’s New TPC-C
How does a place like Manchester, New Hampshire become the epicenter of the world these days? The big P, politics. I think that many of us are getting tired of the circus. Lately, I don’t really care about what Mitt did to Ron, Rick’s strategy, or all the attacks on Newt. I only truly care [...]

Cisco/Oracle Super Saturday TPC-C
So now they’re trying to put another one over on us. “Super Saturday” for retailers, where you shop till you drop the Saturday before Christmas, has been officially moved to tomorrow, one week early.
