The project name was 'WildCat' - The F6800/6900 (I guess the model numbers were still wrong in my second post - where is my memory going?) were project 'serengeti' and the CPU's were members of the cat family like 'jaguar'. The product was able to do RSM (remote shared memory) between multiple kernels, and SSM (scalable shared memory) between boxes for 1 kernel. As far as I know, while the HW shipped was capable of both, the only SW/drivers that ever shipped were for RSM mode only. > Back in the E10k and Exx00 days, this was also doable through > extending the UPA bus. This sounds like the earlier project 'WildFire' (for the Sunfire project machines). As I recall it relaced the IO 'blade', and was a custom bus. It may have beta'd to a few places but It never shipped. - -Kyle _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMiQ0RAAoJEEADRM+bKN5wGxAH/17IP5J6FOXr1+jbSjxpYAHA OADCX6JT7YrniLk+RnlvmD1eZIX5QRE9/07AAqP0Bv0G8C8FLWi2Yhm3k88TsfKd KhlRgjt0GqDoVGQTm0+UC9yexRhpdRAIhoMSRdJ4gwv55vhr18czpeeAbMbTw7Ep zTdRgHaHwtAFLVyx33XeBq9ntEfcRaCPZfyBSHuNJXiSY+Bo7obDT5pZ3OrgwdQy XEP8TL2Tqxwm6WmCp5TKpXd6iFVrtD0K05ZeI8M7k89Vebc+umTBHSloLNAfYTUe kIcC2HSksNANZebd/pEYUD7UV022fZavQwciHPkOJR6AFLHps1L2ORH2B8SHs3w= =HCKM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
