Hi Folks,

I have been looking for specific tests targetted at
the SMP implementation of FreeBSD in 6.1

I have the following doubts:

1) Must the application (say netperf) make use of
threads in order to benefit in terms of speed-up?

2) Will multiple instances of the application running
in parallel good enough to test the same?

3) What tools can be used to specifically target/test
the SMP implementation?

4) Any idea what is being run on the netperf cluster
to test the same?

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Thanks a ton!

Rahul
