<h2>OpenBSD SMP</h2>

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

<p>
SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessor) support is not yet in OpenBSD, but there
exists a project, started in February 2000, to bring said support to at
least the <a href=i386.html>i386</a> and <a href=sparc.html>sparc</a>
platforms.
</p>

<h3><strong>Resources:</strong></h3>

<p>
We have created a src/sys branch in <a href=anoncvs.html>CVS</a>, called
<b>SMP</b> where the development is happening.  In order to check it out, do:
<pre>
$ <b>cvs update -rSMP src/sys</b>
</pre>
</p>

<p>
There also exists a mailinglist, <i>smp@openbsd.org</i>, for the purpose
of discussing the SMP support.  Look <a href=mail.html>here</a> for a
description on how to subscribe to our mailinglists.
</p>

<p>
We plan to put up links good documents here whenever we find them:
</p>
<bl>
<li><a href=http://developer.intel.com/design/intarch/MANUALS/24201601.pdf>
MultiProcessor Specification</a> by Intel.
</li>
