Well, physically, you can't. But it is doable via virtualization/emulation by using e.g Qemu, Xen, VirtualBox etc. IIRC, qemu can emulate up to 255 processors, of course "multiplexing" 255 virtual processors in 1 processor is like choking someone neck :) regards, Mulyadi. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
