The IBM Server 720 w/4 CPU's looks interesting, at least on paper (I have yet to get a quote from someone, literature but no quotes). I have a few questions. o Does anyone have experience with the IBM 720? o I assume that it is enough of a PC to support FreeBSD on a single processor, correct? o Is there any reason the current FreeBSD smp system wouldn't work (or nearly work) on it? o Any recommendations on other systems to consider? Most that I see are dual systems and I'm interested in more than 2 processors. Thanks a bundle. dayton Dayton Clark CIS Department dayton@brooklyn.cuny.edu Brooklyn College/CUNY 1-718-951-4811 Brooklyn, New York 11210 1-718-951-4842 (fax) From owner-freebsd-smp Tue Aug 20 11:56:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-smp Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA25473 for smp-outgoing; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 11:56:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from neworder.cc.uky.edu (neworder.cc.uky.edu [128.163.18.198]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA25468 for ; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 11:56:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from soward@localhost) by neworder.cc.uky.edu (8.7/Soward0.1) id OAA03810; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 14:55:05 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199608201855.OAA03810@neworder.cc.uky.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 4.0 v141) Content-Type: text/plain Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.141) From: John Soward Date: Tue, 20 Aug 96 14:55:03 -0400 To: Dayton Clark Subject: Re: IBM Server 720 cc: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Reply-To: soward@service1.uky.edu References: <199608201742.NAA06188@robeson.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu> Organization: University of Kentucky Technical Services X-URL: "http://neworder.cc.uky.edu/" Sender: owner-smp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'd be willing to be that FreeBSD-smp will not work on the 720, in fact, I'd wonder if FreeBSD would work at all on the 720...I'm interested in any experiences with the 704 (P-Pro), though... The 720 uses a proprietary scheme for connected the CPUs (c-bus II) as opposed to following Intel's guidlines. Also it has, in addition to PCI and EISA, MicroChannel stuff in it. Just to add to the complexity, their C-bus II design lets you put in CPUs of variying speeds, and they use an L3 cache. Now the 704 uses what looks like a little more standard scheme, although it sticks you with the 4 CPU max (512K P-Pros). I'd love to hear about any experiences with this unit. thanx, --- John Soward JpS Systems Programmer 'The Midnight sun will burn you up.' University of Kentucky (NeXT and MIME mail OK) -R.
