[osol-discuss] MAX CPUs in OpenSolaris?

2008-05-22 Thread Peter Eriksson
I know that there used to be a 256 CPU limit in Solaris, but what are the 
current limits?
How many processors can OpenSolaris handle?

It depends on which platform.
Previously,  NCPU is 32 on 32-bit x86 kernel, and 64 on 64-bit x86 kernel.
From B87, NCPU on 64-bit x86 kernel has been changed to 256.

Thanks,

On the SPARC side I believe it's currently defined as high as 512. The 
only reason there is a static limit at all, is because there are still 
some allocations of per CPU data needing to be done early in boot (prior 
to kmem service availability).
