Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 demos for 4+ CPUs?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 90696d0a-ead1-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Has anyone given any thought to using Plan 9 as an OS vehicle for a
4-CPU or 8-CPU dog and pony show?

I ask because AMD and Intel are in a big race to show that multi-core
CPU's are cool and that people should buy them. AMD and Intel need
SMP-capable software to show that their new CPU's and server
architectures are relevant.

This in turn helps make Plan 9 more relevant.

First of all has anyone done 2X, 4X, or 8X benchmarks against Linux,
Windows, or any other OS's?

Second of all, does anyone have any demos to show off Plan 9's SMP
capabilities? Something with suitable flashing lights? 8-)

Thanks,
Andrew
