I'm trying to find out where we stand with regard to SMP. I know
that there is the CPU affinity issue on Superserver on Win32 (I
believe that there is some form of correction in 1.5 for this). I
know that one can use Classic on Win32, and get some benefit from any
additional processors - although the Superserver manifesto for IB 5
implies that this is of limited use
(http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?
a=ibphoenix&l=;IBPHOENIX.PAGES;NAME='ibp_50_ss_arch').
But where do other platforms stand vis a vis SMP? Will Linux, OS X
or Solaris exploit multiple processors in both architectures? Does
anyone have any specific details?
Thanks,
Bernard
