rudedog & Amy, RE: Linux scaling One of the main factors of scaling is performance increase with respect to number of processors. I would love to see a scale of linear relationship between these 2 variables. The reality is different as we have various overheads. This brings a point on the side note, do either of you have any insight to the implementation of multi-threading in these 3 OSes (windows 2000, solaris & linux)? I have some idea of this implementation in windows 2000, other 2 I have no clue (although, I assume they follow somewhat similar implementation techniques). If it is possible can you discuss the +s & -s of these implementation? I am not a big fan of the way it was implemented in windows 2000, they seem to carry a lot of overhead. which in turn makes for a more flatter cure between processors & performance. Your thoughts appreciated here. mula PS. just trying to educate my self of this multi-threading thoughts between various OSes.
