7. Alpha architecture specific questions

7.1 Which Alpha machines are supported ?

(Geerten Kuiper) SMP works for most, if not all, AXP servers.

(Jay A Estabrook) SMP does seem to work on most of our [Compaq] boxes with 2 or more CPUs. That includes :

• AS2000/2100 (SABLE)
• AS4000/4100 (RAWHIDE)
• DS20 (DP264)
• GS320 (see the bootlog for a 31 CPUs machine)

It does not include :

• AS2100A (LYNX)
• TurboLaser bigboys (8200/8400)

(Alpha Processor Inc) SMP support has been qualified for all API SMP systems starting from later 2.2-series kernels (approximately kernel 2.2.7). At the time of writing, that is :

• DP264
• UP2000

7.2 Specific problem related to Alpha SMP support

None (really ? :-)
