Hi, here is another (naive?) question on the X-MP. Tasks can be forked off using the TSKSTART call in user programs. What happens when the program attempts to fork more tasks than processors available, i.e., when there is a resource conflict. Does the COS decide the best course of action? or does it warn the user about the problem? This question may also be related to the portability of programs from X-MP of 1 configuration to another. Please mail me your responses directly to me at sushil@pixel.cps.msu.edu Thanks, Sushil
