rudedog, you will recall our discussing Linux...
wherein you initially suggested activity by CPQ in this area would only start when market-driven. It turned out that CPQ was already moving quickly in that area.
Note the following:
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 1999-- Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ - news) reinforced its 64-bit
leadership by announcing its Java Development Kit (JDK) running its latest Fast Java Virtual Machine (Fast JVM) for Tru64 UNIX
has generated performance results far greater than reported by Sun Microsystems. The industry's first 64-bit implementation of Java attained an unprecedented 29.1
SPECjvm98(tm) result, exceeding the best-published Sun Solaris result of 18.0 by 62 percent. Compaq's VolanoMark(tm) results were equally impressive, generating
results of 4792 messages per second for 200 concurrent connections, 158 percent faster than the best results reported in the March 1999 edition of JavaWorld magazine....
My question is, is anyone at CPQ aware of INPRISE's JBuilder 3.0. It is available now for Windows API, shortly for Solaris, and later for LINUX. The whole INPR company can be had for pennies, because of mismangement starting with the saxaphone player.... My point is, is Tru64 and the CPQ SDK compatible/based on/in need of the apparently fantastic Borland JBuilder product? INPR will likely be picked up by someone for their CORBA or RAD capabilities, and CPQ seems a natural, because of their interst in cross-platform, leading edge JAVA. |
