Linux had been doing SMP for about 5 years by that point.
But you're right OS resource limitations (file handles, PIDs, etc) would be the real pain for you. One problem after another.
Now, the real question is do you want to spend your engineering time on that? A small cluster running erlang is probably better than a tiny number of finely tuned race-car boxen.
- dilyevsky 10mo agoMy recollection is fuzzy but i remember having to recompile 2.4-ish kernels to enable SMP back in the day which took hours... And I think it was buggy too. Totally agree on many smaller boxes vs bigger box especially for proxying usecase.
