[HACKERS] IRIX and large SMP: donations of shells c
I'm going to be overseeing a move from a Mac-based postgres database (100k transactions/day, roughly 5M rows) to an SGI Octane in the near-ish term.The machine will only be two-way SMP. I'd like to see it working 64-bit and compiled with MIPSpro. I have a friend who has mostly succeeded in getting it compiiled with MIPSpro, but Neil told me today there might be concerns with SMP systems 4cpu's. I offered access on a system with 6 cpus (SGI Challenge L, R4400's). I may have access to other machines, including a 36-cpu Octane with R10k's. If this is useful to somebody on the core group, please let me know. I'd really like to see Postgres understand MIPSpro and irix out of the box. I understand there is some difficulty at present. I'd appreciate a Cc on the thread, if possible. Thanks, alex ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's my impression, anyone -- I can't say I've confirmed that with any benchmarks. I offered access on a system with 6 cpus (SGI Challenge L, R4400's). As I indicated in IRC, I'd be interested in the use of that machine. If that's okay, can you send me the auth info via email? You can find my GPG key on keyserver.net.
