Brazil has been ported to dual-processor Pentium systems which conform to the Intel Multiprocessor Spec. But that's not on the distribution. ------ original message follows ------ >>From cse.psu.edu!9fans-outgoing-owner Wed Nov 15 16:39:47 EST 1995 Received: by colossus.cse.psu.edu id <78448>; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 16:31:30 -0500 Received: from goggins.bath.ac.uk ([138.38.32.13]) by colossus.cse.psu.edu with SMTP id <78446>; Wed, 15 Nov 1995 16:12:30 -0500 Received: from bath.ac.uk (actually host solomon.bath.ac.uk) by goggins.bath.ac.uk with SMTP (PP); Wed, 15 Nov 1995 19:48:27 +0000 Original-Received: from GATEWAY by bath.ac.uk with netnews for 9fans@bath.ac.uk (9fans@cse.psu.edu) PP-warning: Illegal Received field on preceding line To: cse.psu.edu!9fans Date: Tue, 14 Nov 1995 10:52:02 -0500 From: Sandy Harris Message-ID: <81778.sharris@fox.nstn.ca> Organization: Nova Scotia Technology Network Subject: Which architectures have parallel support? Source-Info: From (or Sender) name not authenticated. Sender: cse.psu.edu!owner-9fans Precedence: bulk Reply-To: cse.psu.edu!9fans Which multi-processor machines run Plan 9? The distribution supports four architecures. I'm reasonably certain: some of the SGI/MIPS machines Plan 9 supports are multi-processor the 680x0 machines aren't. What I'd like to know is: Are any multi-processor SPARC machines supported? Are any multi-processor Pentium machines supported? -- Sandy Harris sharris@fox.nstn.ca
