We've got a rack of 10 4-cpu alphas. They load share just fine. (in fact, they're set up to share across cpu's AND between the ten boxes. Imagine running a mud on one of those!) ---------- From: Chris Gray Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 1997 9:23 AM To: Multiple Recipients of MUD Design Mailing List Subject: Re: Just a bit of musing In the Sun world, this has never been true. SunOS didn't use SMP's very well, because when anything needed kernel work, a single global lock kept everyone else out of the kernel. Even then, there was no CPU reserved for the kernel. Under the newer Solaris, the locks within the kernel are of much finer granularity, so several CPUs can be executing kernel code at the same time. My understanding is that IBM's AIX went through similar changes (AIX 3.5 didn't support SMP, but AIX 4.1 was a rewrite, and is much like Solaris on SMP's). I'm not sure about HP's HPUX, but the dual-CPU machine beside my desk at work doesn't seem to suffer any problems, and most certainly can have both CPU's busy doing user work. :It is also my understanding that NT 4.0 uses a different model and :implements :"load sharing" as you define it above. I have heard rumors that Digital's :64-bit Unix :uses the "load sharing" model. Does anyone have any info on this? I'd be surprised if anyone wrote an operating system which reserved a CPU for the OS itself. However, it *is* MicroSoft being talked about!!! :-/ DEC is pretty good at software, so they should be able to get it right. We haven't ported our stuff to Alpha's yet, however, so I have no direct experience with them. -- Chris Gray cg@ami-cg.GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA<<application/ms-tnef>>

Greetings all-- I've been doing my best to follow the DevMud thread and have found it to be quite interesting. Although, I do have a quick question or two. Is it me, or does it appear to be two distinct discussion being held at the same time? One about licenses and the other about the VM/modules. I've never done anything like this before and this is the closest I've come to seeing a mud being developed from the ground up. Granted things are still being organized, but I get a 'jumping around' feeling when I'm reading through the threads. I may be the only one, but is it possible to have an outline posted about what needs to be accomplished? It would help make things more appearant in the development process for me as well as allowing me to see where I might be able to contribute to this. This is all very interesting to me, kinda like a software engineering project. I've always wanted to 'write-my-own-mud-from-scratch' but was never sure where to start. This at least gives me a better idea and some kind of direction to follow. c'est moi- Franklyn ------------------------------------------------------- "ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YOU SHALL ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING, YOU SHALL RECEIVE."
