   Sun JavaStation

   Larry Seltzer

   The Sun JavaStation takes the "virtual" out of virtual machine. 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.
