Congratulations! :-)

I am looking after AMD Threadripper with 64 cores 2 threads each that
will give 128 CPU to the system.. maybe this year I could afford that
beast then I will report back after testing :-)

In upcoming years variations of RISC-V will provide unheard before
number of CPU in a single SoC (i.e. 1000 CPU) at amazing power
efficiency and I saw reports of prototype with 3 x SoC of this kind on
a single board :-)
