Good morning!

- Red Hat now supports 64 cpus on AMD64, Sun only 21. Why is Sun
lagging behind so much?
There has been some work to address this (and we have appropriate test
equipment available now) but it has not yet gone back.
When do you put the code back?
You seem to be a bit short on memory here :-)
No
See the discussion of
24 Aug last year "Why is Solaris x86 limited to 21 CPUs?" and
"NCPU madness - which Sun product supports 558 CPUs?" - both threads
started by one Felix Schulte.
I remember the discussion very good. I am complaining that Red Hat is
the technology leader now...
Well, I wouldn't quite put it that way (very overgeneralized assertion,
and Subject line). E.g. go here to see what Solaris supports in this
regard on SPARC64:

Sun had half a year to deal with the
problem. Why is it so difficult to change the number from 21 to 64 as
proposed in the previous discussion?
