I'm running it on: wildfire@ftoomsh:~$ uname -a Linux ftoomsh 2.2.15-pre13 #1 SMP Mon Mar 6 01:14:26 EST 2000 sparc unknown wildfire@ftoomsh:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : Texas Instruments, Inc. - SuperSparc 50 fpu : SuperSparc on-chip FPU promlib : Version 3 Revision 2 prom : 2.14 type : sun4m ncpus probed : 4 ncpus active : 4 Cpu0Bogo : 49.86 Cpu1Bogo : 49.97 Cpu2Bogo : 49.97 Cpu3Bogo : 49.97 MMU type : TI Viking/MXCC invall : 0 invmm : 0 invrnge : 0 invpg : 0 contexts : 65536 CPU0 : online CPU1 : online CPU2 : online CPU3 : online We have a sparc64 machine with 20 CPUs, of which one boots. Unfortunately it requires a 3-phase power supply which are becoming harder and harder to find within UTS. Every now and then someone has a go on it to get it booting multi-CPU, you are welcome to have a play if you like. Email me off-list.
