Yes. > Can I separate tasks between different CPUs? I'm not sure what you're asking. You can't specify which CPU a task winds up on, or which tasks wind up on different CPUs. You can break your computing job up into tasks however you want to, but the system will decide which tasks run on which CPU. > Please, point me, where i can read more information about > multiprocessor support in FreeBSD. Try searching the freebsd web site for "SMP". > I need to decide, what hardware i have to buy. The motherboard must follow the Intel MP spec, version 1.4.
