You can currently configure for up to 8192 CPUs. I've not seen any benchmark data whatsoever for huge boxen, have no idea where which subsystem crumbles. SGI asked for the increase to 8192, so presumably do manage to squeeze acceptable performance out of size XXXXL boxen. -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
