3058.0. "Does DEC/EDI V3.1-A support multi processors ?" by COPCLU::FLADER_R (Rune Bo Flader @DMO) Fri Mar 14 1997 17:14

Hi !

In conjunction with a pre-sale task for a customer we got a question about 
designing the HW for a quite big EDI-enviroment.

The question is: Does the DEC/EDI Server V3.1-A support multi processors (=CPUs)
?

I did not find any answer to this question. Does anybody know if and how 
the DEC/EDI Server supports multiple alpha processors (=CPUs) ?

Thanks in advance !

Kind regards, Rune Flader, DEC DK

Hi,

You can be pretty sure that DEC/EDI has done nothing to support multi-processor
CPU systems. 

However - a more appropriate questions is 'do UNIX applications in general'
support multi-cpu. 

It is very unusual for an application to care about such low level
details, I would expect that to be taken care of by the 
OS.

    FYI: One of out machines (LETISS) is a dual CPU machine (or was when we
    first got it), and DEC/EDI has no problems running on it.
