[adonay]

well i came to think about something..if the shark PPC gets realeased will you be able to use 2(two) off thease pci board at the same time if not why.could be quite good for havy multitasking and would you actually get a speed advantage or would it crash with resourses and stuff ..I dont know better than to ask since i am no prosessor producer..



adonay  :lol: reamember not to fry me to much for this one ok

Not possible for several reasons, not least because AmigaOS doesn't support Multi Processor systems :-)

Technically, it doesn't support 68060 processors, PCI buses, and other goodies either. But I imagine adding multi-processor support would require replacing so much of the kernel that you may as well re-write it. But wait. . . . PPC software runs in a separate subsystem anyway, right? Why not just fudge the PPC side of the task scheduler a bit and support multiple processors? Or support hyper-threaded execution via a custom library?
