Hey Paul,

Thanks much for that.  I was hoping it was something simple like that.
"Spidermonkey doesn't use any SMP features" - does that mean it will only run on one core and essentially become the bottleneck ?

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.

Hello all,

I may get *free* access to an 8 core 32G server machine and am curious if
the underlying Erlang layer will automagically spread itself across 8 cores
or does anything need to be done in particular while build, install or
config?

Second this is a 64 bit RHEL or FC machine ( not sure exactly whihc but it
doesn't matter much)  so the Ubuntu niceness is missing.
So when installing from release tarball what's the best way to install
dependencies ( the instructions seem only to talk about debian apt-get
installs).
Are there recent RPM's that can be installed via yum that will satisfy needs
of 0.90 and beyond ? Anyone done this before ?
