Multi-processor boards: Linux/Debian support?
A rumor has it that WinNT on an 8 processors board gives you a real powerful
and scalable machine.
A while ago there was a discussion on this list whose conclusion was that a
Pentium Pro 200 would be faster than a dual P133 system. From this I deduce
there must be some support for multi-processor systems with linux.
Questions:
1) Does this need specially compiled software?
2) How would Linux vs NT vs Alpha station compare for numerical computations?
3) Where can I find more info about this. The linux-smp list seems to be
sleepy.
Many thanks!
Amities,
