[9fans] on a slightly more fun note

[ron minnich]

Just booted Plan 9 on a 1024+16 node BG/P this week. .

All credit to jmk, ericvh, and charles for this fantastic test run and
the existence of this new kernel.

Plan is to double it just a few times until we hit 65536 or so. Then
the fun begins: turning on all cores, so we get to
262144 cpus.

Boots kinda fast, too. It's peppy. No current plans to run acme,
though we have run rio on a bg/l cpu node in 2007, as ericvh related
on his blog.

managing output is interesting in this world.

Really cool! Are you going to talk about this @SuperComputing?

Thanks,
Roman.

I was going to talk to a bof but they did not accept the paper:
"Running one million things". Somehow the schedulers had more cred.

I'll echo the congratulations.

So how many cores is that for each member of the
Plan 9 community?  :-)  On a slightly more serious
note, would it be terribly naive to guess that
there would be more cores running Plan 9 in that
machine than there are throughout the rest of the
world?

Now we just need to run Inferno so it will cover
the range from the GameBoy DS all the way up to
the BG/P. :-)  There would be something perverse
but fun for the DS to import resources from the
BG/P or vice versa for that matter.

not yet.  coraid is responsible for ~4k cores
running plan 9 right now.  of course the maximum
concentration in one place is jus a few hundred.

That's nearly as many cores as I have gates! Very good indeed - just
don't say "Hooter's Girls" to Mr Van Hensbergen.

That's great.
Any plan to run it for end users?

"Sole purpose of visit"
as someone supposedly quipped in answer to the question on the US entry form:
"Is it your intention to overthrow the government of the United States?"

(that response is variously attributed, although both Evelyn Waugh and Gilbert Harding
seem plausible, given their temperaments, but it's hard to imagine it successfully
breaking the ice at US Immigration. it is sometimes given as "Not sole purpose of visit" which is also effective.)

Just chiming in to say very nicely done, congratulations, && thanks for all
the work you've put in on Plan 9.
