You don't seem to have dealt with Java any time, have you? Compiler dependent,
huh? That would be true for scientific applications running mostly in user
space but if you

In my own comparions with the applications we
use, I've found Solaris and Redhat have very little to do with the

the major issue for me is whether or not I get reasonable uptime,
The 512CPU SGI thing I was talking about is a Shared Memory NUMA system running
single system image, which is different from MPP or a clustered system. It runs
upto 512 CPUs in a single node.
If a kernel scales well with single image on such a system, it can very well
scale (upto the point

I think most of us are well aware of which system is meant.
