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?
My experience is that it does. I tested up to 32 cores/threads last
year and saw linear growth to 8-14 cores. Erlang R13B is supposed to
break the 8-14 barrier and the brand new R13B01 goes even further to
remove non-parallelisms in the Erlang VM. I'd suggest you try and make
sure to try Erlang R13B01.

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 ?
