The cores are coming! The cores are coming!

The next round of Intel Xeon chips have core-counts in tens. UltraSPARC =
Niagara (T1, T2, et alia) have had lots of cores for quite some years. =
Multicore ARMs are in all mid-to-high-end smartphones & tablet =
computers.

Can the NetBSD kernel use them all efficiently & effectively?

Have the user land applications which can be parallelized been =
parallelized?

What is the current status of NetBSD SMP system support? Which kernel =
subsystems still need work, and which are done?

	curious,
