It would appear from the documentation on mach system calls, that thread_set/get_state() could be used to control special processors in a multi procssesor environment. For example a 386 or 68k based workstation with a nummeric/graphics processor, transputer array, or even a connection machine. My question is: Has this been done in practice? How tollerant is mach to heterogenious multiproccesor environments? Has mach been used to control special proccessors which dont support VM, and insist on referencing only physical memory addresses? brad -- brad
