------- Forwarded Message Date: Wed, 23 Jul 97 14:49:09 PDT Subject: SMP, state of -current? From: Troy Curtiss <troyc@sandy.merix.com> Message-Id: <troyc-9706232149.AA000129151@sandy> In-Reply-To: <199707232125.OAA19082@freefall.freebsd.org> Hi Steve, I see you've been working hot & heavy on the SMP FreeBSD stuff. I may be in a position to buy an MP motherboard here at work, which would you recommend? Secondly, how far along is the SMP in the way of process sharing/threading/etc... If I write a program that parallel tasks (ie... brute forcing password keyspaces), can I put a CPU on each task/thread/process to effectively double my speed (almost)? Just curious, - -Troy - -- /-----------------------------------------------------------\ | Troy Curtiss, HW/SW Engineer | Email: troyc@merix.com | | Merix Corporation, CL-302 | Phone: (970) 203-6643 | | Loveland, CO 80537 | Fax : (970) 203-6610 | \-----------------------------------------------------------/ ------- End of Forwarded Message
