Actually, that article mentions pre-emptive multithreading, which FreeBSD doesn't currently support in the kernel. This might be an issue if we go beyond the single giant lock model in SMP, however. I haven't read the patent, but it shouldn't be difficult to prove prior art. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
