coming as no suprise, the pc port of plan 9
does work just fine with 8 cores.

I'd like to ask a question, but before I do, feel I should say, I've been on this list long enough to understand that Plan 9 is a research vessel, not an OS that's targeted at commercial deployment...
That being said, while huge scalability is certainly research-worthy, does anyone actually run anything on Plan 9 that needs or would otherwise benefit from 8+ CPUs and more than a few GB's of RAM?
Furthermore, does anyone out there run Plan 9 on non-x86 hardware anymore?

The Blue gene HPC folks come to mind.

Some people would like to, but to my knowledge fourth edition hasn't
been ported to any other platforms. I've heard rumors of a near
complete x86_64 port, and there's occasional interest in sparc and ppc
ports.

Hi Mr Forsyth,
I tried to respond to your directly, but the mail bounced.
Here in Saudi Arabia tinyurl is blocked (by the govt). Is it possible
that you (or someone else) can expand the URL for me and send it to me
off-list?
Thanks
John Waters,

Plan 9 has always run on multiple architectures,
and the fourth edition is no different. ls /sys/src/9
will show you that there are ports to the Alpha PC (alphapc)
the HP iPaq (bitsy), and a few PowerPC boards (mtx, ppc).
