[comp.sys.apollo] parallelising compilers on 10000 series

ianh@merlin.bhpmrl.oz (Ian Hoyle) (03/22/89)

Does anyone know of the current status of work done at Apollo on parallelising
compilers for the 10000. We have a 4 processor DSP10000 and are keen to get
the maximum benefit out of having 4 processors :-)

SiliconGraphics certainly have a well developed OS for their new multi-processor
Power Series machines  ..... with compilers to match.

PS  Our 10000 is humming away quite well, but I wish that Apollo would hurry up
the next release of SR10 for the 10000 so that the number of concurrent processes
is lifted and the swap space requirements per process are reduced.
