I want to know how FreeBSD SMP > semaphores differ from the FreeBSD non-SMP semaphores (for instance). We realize that general documents are in order on a lot of issues. Right now, with the merge into -current and all, we are just too busy writing the code! I have setup a page on the website to start collecting whitepapers on these subjects, now we just need to find time to write them. My first paper will probably be a discussion of the APIC I/O system, from the point of view of its actual implimentation, and the WHYs of how it is written. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
