|
|
|
|
<P>(<B>Geerten Kuiper</B>) SMP works for most, if not all, AXP servers.
|
|
<P>(<B>Jay A Estabrook</B>) SMP does seem to work on most of our [Compaq]
|
|
boxes with 2 or more CPUs. That includes :
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> AS2000/2100 (SABLE)</LI>
|
|
<LI> AS4000/4100 (RAWHIDE)</LI>
|
|
<LI> DS20 (DP264)</LI>
|
|
<LI> GS320 (see the
|
|
<A HREF="http://lwn.net/daily/gs320.php3">bootlog for a 31 CPUs machine</A>)</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>It does not include :
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> AS2100A (LYNX)</LI>
|
|
<LI> TurboLaser bigboys (8200/8400)</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>(<B>Alpha Processor Inc</B>) SMP support has been qualified for all API
|
|
SMP systems starting from later 2.2-series kernels (approximately kernel
|
|
2.2.7).
|
|
At the time of writing, that is :
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> DP264</LI>
|
|
<LI> UP2000</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.alpha-processor.com/support/index.shtml">API's support website</A> for more info.
