Subject: [QUESTION]: Support and scalability on SMP Alpha


I am working on a project which will require a lot of CPU power. I will
be running TCP, a managable number of busy threads, and gigabit ether.

I was curious how good the alpha processor support is in Linux as
compared to, say, i386. Also How well do alpha processors scale up on
Linux 2.4 in a veriety of different n-way alpha boxes.

TIA,
Bart.
