It was about the technical discussion on Highscalability - I have been
trying to wrap my head around the concept of multiple core scaling for
Postgres, especially beyond 8 core (like Scott's Magny Coeurs
example). My doubt arises from whether Postgres depends on the kernel
scheduler for multiple CPU/core utilization.
If that is the case, then does using FreeBSD vs Linux give rise to any
differences in scaling?
Hmm...typically multi-core scaling issues are in the area of memory
contention and cache coherence (and therefore are for the most part not
dependent on the OS and its scheduler).
