I don't understand your question...
I would assume that it's just like any other OS that uses SMP for a single instance of the operating system (or other dedicated software)...
Sorry living Free.
What I want to know is how many CPUs would Linux 7.3 allow you to run in one system?
For example Windows 2000 Pro allows 2 CPUs and Server 2000 allows four and if you need to run more, you'll have to get a multiple CPU instruction patch from a partner software company.
It should run just fine on a 2-4 CPU box.
According to the HOW-TO (you should really learn how to use google...), the 2.2 series kernels should theoretically work for up to 16 CPUs on an Intel machine. Redhat 7.3 uses a kernel in the 2.4 tree, so I can't be 100% sure of any changes.
The SCO OSR 5.7 system was migrated from older HP DL360 to new DL380 G7. The SMP feature was not activated on older box, it is activated now on this 4 core Xeon.
A s/w we maintain has been copied without any change over to the new box. I noticed that the application profiling does not show any... (4 Replies)

El caso es que quisiera que cada vez que lanzo un job (por ejemplo de 2 procesos), cada proceso del trabajo se fuera... (1 Reply)
Interesting issue. There was some discussion on the LKML last year regarding the potential problems in concurrent applications reusing file descriptors in various scenarios. The main issue is that the reuse of a file descriptor and reception of data in a threaded application can be confused pretty... (1 Reply)

If the strength of Unix based operating systems such as Linux and Red Hat are based on the fact that they are open-source. Who will provide support for personal computers or average users that uses these operating systems. Wouldn't the absence of some structured and formal support system inhibit... (8 Replies)
