The Java-Station is a dedicated Java system--that's all it runs natively. In order to run it and test it, though, we also had to set up a Sun Netra J server running Solaris, since the JavaStation reads JavaOS (its Java-based system software) from the server. The JavaStation runs the HotJava Browser as its user interface. The version we tested was labeled "1.0 LAR," which stands for Limited-Access Release. All the system settings, including setting the resolution of the display, are handled through Web pages and HotJava menus. Our JavaStation was incapable of going beyond 8-bit color, which probably gave it an undue advantage on our JMark AWT Graphics Mix test and especially on the AWT Blts & Images test. (The other platforms, except Linux, were tested at 24-bit color.) The JavaStation tested had 64MB RAM and a 100-MHz MicroSparc II processor. The JavaStation's performance was in the bottom tier of the systems we tested. For instance, it was almost always slower than all the Macintosh browsers. And in none of the computational tests did it come close to any of the mass-market Win32 VMs. [prev2.gif] Previous Top Next [next2.gif] Sponsored Links Genuity Discover Genuity's Black Rocket eBusiness network platform.
