Scalability Efforts

2000-09-07 Thread Henry Worth
With all the talk of improving Linux's scalability to large-scale SMP and ccNUMA platforms -- including efforts at several HW companies and now OSDL forming to throw hardware at the effort -- is there any move afoot to coordinate these efforts? The LSE project at sourceforge seems to have been
