The Suites are now available to the community via download. The project will also be available on SourceForge soon. The AIM benchmark technology has proved useful for more than a decade in measuring performance of hardware and versions of the Unix operating system. The benchmarks were licensed by nearly all of the vendors of Unix system hardware. More than 70 companies used these benchmarks to compare and tune products. In addition, because of the stressful multidimensional nature of the AIM workload many OS and hardware vendors have used the benchmarks as part of their quality assurance process. For a number of years, AIM Technologies sponsored "Hot Iron Awards" to hardware demonstrating outstanding performance in various price categories. SCO/SCO UnixWare was, by far, the favorite Unix version selected by hardware vendors to show their products to best performance advantage. The strong performance of UnixWare has carried forward into it's OpenUnix 8 decendent, announced in June of 2000. SCO acquired rights to the AIM technology in early 2000, and passed this along to SCO Incorporated as part of the transfer of it's Server Division. ______________ ______________________________________________________________________ Mio Yahoo!: personalizza Yahoo! come piace a te http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/?http://it.my.yahoo.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
