Hello, I'm currently discussing with a professor at one of the
local collages the idea of getting together a graduate team to work
on implementing multiprocessor support in freeBSD. The professor is very
excited about this prospect but he is not sure if he'll be able to convince
the C.S. department to "enhance" the rules so that this might be done.
I don't want to know too much about the politics involved but what
little I do know tells me this could be an uphill battle. So, needless to
say this project may never get any farther than the planning stage :(
Anyhow, I was hoping that perhaps I could pick your brains for
a little advice. I already own a number of O.S. design books and I found
a book in one of the local bookstores with example code for multiprocessors
but you can never have enough reference material :) I'd be very interested
in any (no matter how small) advise anyone has to offer. Perhaps if I
walk into the next meeting with a stack of reference material they
might be wow'd into thinking "We have to do this!!" (But I think that'd
be too simple ;)
