Power Management software supports the sun4m and sun4u platform groups Software features and defaults may vary between the two platform groups Refer to Using Power Management in the Solaris 8 User AnswerBook set for more information when you identify the platform group that applies to your system
The information in this document applies to the following Sun architectures sun4c sun4m sun4d sun4u sun3x but not to sun4 sun3 All of these questions relate to the NVRAM chip in the Sun workstation
The sun4 series were the next Sun architecture after sun3 hence the 4 Mbus while sun4d introduced the XDbus Sun4u is the line of machines with an ultraSparc CPU
The Sun4m says that it is a SPARC based system not x86 so the information below where you mention things about x86 systems do not apply Note that it even says sparc which IIRC

My experience with Sun systems is somewhat dated I ve started with Sun 3 3 260 and progressed through Sun4 sun4c sun4m sun4d SS1000 onwards to sun4u architecture However biggest sun4u box I ve played with would be an Enterprise 6500 and biggest I own is an E4K

The sun4m and sun4d parts of the kernel have seen no real interest for several years now Last time a few people surfaced but it was either due to a personal project or for nostalgic reasons It is time to let go and drop the parts of sparc32 that in reality are not in use
With SSP 4 0 Stromasys enhanced its cross platform hardware virtualization product to include a virtual replica of sun4m sun4u and sun4v SPARC systems on standard x86 64 computer systems These systems are running Linux on top of physical hardware or a hypervisor and can be emulated on a cloud through a cloud specific product variant
On sun4u platforms the kernel has its own virtual address space context and consequently can be much larger The sun4u kernel address space is 4 Gbytes on 32 bit kernels and spans the full 64 bit address range on 64 bit kernels

What are the key performance differences between Sun4u Sun4m and Sun4d architectures Sun4u provides the most advanced 64 bit SPARC architecture with high speed UPA interconnect while Sun4m and Sun4d are older 32 bit designs with fewer CPUs and slower interconnects
From John The differences have to do with the sparc processor history sun4u ultra sparc based machines including the ultra ultraII i e and the new ultraIII processors sun4d I believe these were the voyager series machines but I never had one so I 39 m not sure sun4m microsparc and supersparc processors
