<PRE>
Asymetric Multi Processing has been around for some time and is present
in most Unixes, OS/2, and NT 3.51.
A little research revealed the following:
Symetric Multi Processing is available in AIX 4.1, OS/2 Warp server (as of October?),
Digital's Alpha Unix 4.0b and NT 4.0.
I am sure there are others.
No need to be suprised, we are describing essentially the same thing but
from a different perspective. My description being the poorer one.
Some kernal work in both systems can only take place on one CPU at a time in
an AMP implementation. Granularity does vary from OS to OS.
I guess in my view, unless the OS can execute in its entirety simultaneously
on multiple CPUs it is an AMP implementation.
In any event, this is a pretty moot point for me. At least regarding my mud
server design. ;-)
