My group is looking at putting two 68020 CPUs (each with an MMU and a
physical snooping cache) in a system with a single memory space, and
adapting our 4.2BSD-derived Unix to run on it. We're looking for
experience in this sort of enterprise.
A few years ago the "Purdue dual VAX CPU" system seemed to win general
favor. Has there been any progress on this line of work? How can I
get a copy of the system software enhancements for commercial
exploitation? Our library of Usenix proceedings is sparse; can anyone
point me to references?
(I know about neat new systems like MACH, but we're constrained to
adapt our existing 4.2BSD kernel and utility set. For now, at least.)
