OpenBSD AMD64 SMP in testing

Posted by Hemos on from the joanne-pater-will-love-it dept.

agent dero writes "Naysayers beware, at the recent Calgary OpenBSD Hackathon, there has been some major improvements in OpenBSD's SMP support which was recently merged with -current. According to this recent article at undeadly.org the code is ready for testing, but the OpenBSD team could really use some permanent AMD64 SMP hardware for testing. Notable achievments include a kernel compile in around 80 seconds."

  1. 80 seconds, eh? by F2F · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Well, here in Plan 9-land we get our kernels compiled for 8 seconds (Theo himself admits our compilers are blazingly fast):
    plan9% time mk 'CONF=pccpu' > /dev/null
    3.44u 3.26s 8.85r mk CONF=pccpu
    plan9% ls -l 9pccpu
