Just booted Plan 9 on a 1024+16 node BG/P this week. . All credit to jmk, ericvh, and charles for this fantastic test run and the existence of this new kernel.
Plan is to double it just a few times until we hit 65536 or so. Then the fun begins: turning on all cores, so we get to 262144 cpus. Boots kinda fast, too. It's peppy. No current plans to run acme, though we have run rio on a bg/l cpu node in 2007, as ericvh related on his blog. managing output is interesting in this world. ron
