I have a default Slink installation, I recompiled the kernel for SMP, and it _seems_ to work correctly (e.g. MATLAB benchmark shows a significant B.Sawi >improvement of performance). In fact I'm a beginner in SMP so should I expect any problems in the future?
SMP support is minimal in 2.0 but it does work, i use 2.0.36 on a SMP machine. I dont have faith in 2.2 just yet for my main servers. B.Sawi >BTW: how to see how my system distributes the workload between the two processors? you prob need 2.2 for that, there is a patch to procps, and you get a SMP enabled top and ps. you can also try QPS which is SMP aware(requires 2.2 too i believe) as well as KDE's ktop. if you find a a way to get stats on a 2.0 SMP system let me know id like to use it too. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 7:29am up 108 days, 19:11, 3 users, load average: 1.95, 1.66, 1.64
