Nitin, Getting Erlang to spread should just be a matter of building it to have SMP support. ICU and Spidermonkey don't make use of any SM operation. You'll want to check Erlang's ./configure --help but I think it compiles SMP by default. If not you'll want to check options like --with-smp and --with-async.
