Am I correct in understanding that all userland software must be
written to either 1) multi-thread with a second processor or 2)
run on the second processor directly, to take advantage of the
MP kernel?
If I understand this correctly, what software--outside of seti--
is written to do this? Or another way of asking the question:
is my 440FX dual 266mhz system running the second processor
idly? If so, how do I take advantage of the new MP capabilities?
I've have looked in the online documentation, and the mailing
list archives, and oddly have not found this question directly
asked.
