Hardware and Systems Support
A.1 Supported Hardware/OS platforms
Table A.1 references platforms that Rhino SLEE supports.
A.2 Recommended Hardware
A.2.1 Introduction
This subsection outlines minimum and recommended hardware configurations for different uses of Rhino SLEE. Please refer
to Open Cloud Rhino SLEE 1.4.3 support for information related to supported platforms for Rhino products.
Here is some general background regarding performance on the Rhino SLEE:
• Rhino has been tested on 2 - 8 CPU UltraSPARC III Sun machines. Rhino has been validated as scaling well to 8 CPUs.
• Rhino is CPU bound rather than I/O bound. The faster the CPU, the faster Rhino runs.
• Main Memory requirement is in linear relationship with the number of activities and profiles that are used in Rhino.
A.2.2 Development System Requirements
A Rhino development system is used for purposes of software development and functional testing. Software development is
the process of developing a new application, or resource adaptor for the Rhino platform. Functional testing is the process of
validating whether the new application or resource adaptor complies with its specification (i.e. whether it is functionally correct
or not).
The Rhino Software Development Kit (SDK) is intended for use in Software development and functional testing.
Minimum and recommended software development and functional testing hardware:
• RAM - Minimum of 512MB RAM for the Rhino SDK process (for both UltraSPARC III and Intel X86 CPUs). Recom-
mended 512MB RAM.
• CPU - UltraSPARC III CPU 750MHz minimum, UltraSPARC III 750MHz or greater recommended. X86 CPU Pentium
III 1GHz minimum.
• Hard Disk space – Minimum 2GB hard disk space. The PostgreSQL database server will run on the same machine as the
Rhino SDK.
• Functional testing hardware – The same machine or separate machine(s) can be used to run functional tests. If a separate
machine is used please have a minimum of 512 MB ram, 1 GB disk, and UltraSPARC III 750MHz or X86 Pentium III
1GHz.
