<h3><strong>History and Status:</strong></h3>

The project to add SMP support to OpenBSD was started in 
February, 2000.

<p>
As of June, 2004, SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessor) support has been 
merged into the main OpenBSD development branch.
At this time, the <a href="i386.html">i386</a>,
<a href="amd64.html">amd64</a>, <a href="mvme88k.html">mvme88k</a>,
<a href="sparc64.html">sparc64</a> and
<a href="macppc.html">macppc</a>
platforms supports SMP, but hopefully others, including
<a href="sgi.html">sgi</a> and
<a href="sparc.html">sparc</a>
will ultimately support SMP.

<p>
Please see the appropriate <a href="plat.html">platform</a> page for
SMP status for your system.

<p>
We plan to put up links to good documents here whenever we find them:
