Thanks for responding to Patrick Gainer (3926)
about the complex software issues involved in making
a multiprocessor system scale well. I would add that
once you set your sights higher than a handful of
processors, how to handle interprocessor communication
becomes the most important question. SGI itself learned
a hard lesson with its Power Challenge system, and has
since turned to a directory-based shared memory system
in the Origin 2000 series. Proposing that the solution
to this problem is straightforward, or only a matter of
implementing semaphores, is naive.
