Date: 8 Dec 1995 03:40:33 -0600 Organization: interQuest Online Services -- Huntsville, AL Lines: 27 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4a916h$32n@vespucci.iquest.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: vespucci.iquest.com Anyone have a time frame on when SMP may be done on FreeBSD? And if it is still in the planning stages here are some of my dream ideas. Full adjustable program execution on single or multiple cpus. This could be accomplished via various ways an easy way is giving each proc it's very own name... ie: 486-33(1) Fred and 486-33(2) Bob Add a new command call it pexec and let it have the option: -proc (Proc Name) so if I did a pexec -proc Fred povray... The povray would ONLY run on Fred and not on bob at all. Also the ability to adjust how much time is spent on certain proccesses by groups would be awesome. Imagine telling the system that all procs started by anyone in the group root, www, ftp, etc... geta minimum allocation of 50% cpu time on one of the procs. Just some ramblings... there were more but Im tired :) -- "Perception is not in the eye of the beholder, but of his fears." - Me. big.red.button@this-site-contains-nothing-but-important-launch-codes.nsa.org FreeBSD/NetBSD/BSDi/VSTa OSF/Ultrix/SunOS/Linux Unixware/Sco/Solaris/Windows
