That last bit speaks volumes, back in 1990 I was happily arranging for a cluster of twenty machines with four 88K series processors each, running an un-threaded kernel and no sign of threading in the user space code, to run with all eighty processors going flat out for hours on end. All it took was lots of processes, lots of drives (15 per box) dual networks and careful elimination of bottlenecks. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
