-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was giving some thought recently, to the trend towards adding more and more cores to a single chip, and wondering if maybe, in the next years ahead, if we wouldn't be seeing things that sound loony today, like a 4096 core motherboard. With this in mind, could I ask for a little bit of discussion on the differences between the SMP management that FreeBAD, and several other OSes perform, and the things that stuff like Ganglia (see http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/ ) which manage multi-node networks as if they are 1 computer (or so I understand it). I mean, they both try to spread out job, they both do management, I'm curious, and most especially on the ways that the differences will cause changes in future computing to go. I dunno, I just got curious about this. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH3xJXz62J6PPcoOkRApdWAJ4tMJnMM7+pF2nl+qOYX2VJ7Pw7HwCfeEpz 7udOLtujRpFmLPomXDNRgKo= =c99o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
