totally agree that SMP cores will only be sucessful if we get far more software.

yes, but if you had 99% of the OS in Hardware and got rid of Linux, perhaps SMP could scale. Your argument is for a complex OS to be Kernalized. I propose that the SMP node itself is the kernel and that all those queues, memory systems, locks, IO drivers be done away with.

Time to really break the mold.
