Message-ID: <9a8748490708111808o11d354fr9efa719bc38046c5@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 03:08:03 +0200 From: "Jesper Juhl" <jesper.juhl@...il.com> To: "Linux Kernel Mailing List" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Are we properly prepared to handle 3 Socket setups? Hi, This may be a little off topic, but I think it's interresting enough to warrent a single mail. I just saw a news article (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=41610) about a 3 Socket Opteron motherboard and couldn't help but wonder if we are prepared to deal with such a beast, so I thought I'd inform everyone :-) I'm guessing equipping such a board with 3 single core CPU's could show up some interresting corner cases in schedular code and elsewhere, I'll bet we have some assumptions somewhere about nr_of_cpus being an even number... In any case it would be an interresting box to test on, so for those of you employed by big business with the cash to purchase a test box, it would at least be an interresting one to add to the mix :) Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a heads-up, bye bye... -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
