| Dec 3, 2010 at 13:42 | comment | added | tshepang | @xeno I think the fact that there's even a patchset that handles 4096 processors is stuff that should be mentioned on the Answer. | |

| Dec 3, 2010 at 12:33 | comment | added | xenoterracide | what patch set, the normal patchset can't handle 4096 processors but linux has been patched to do it. (IIRC some answers seem to suggest it can) | |

| Dec 3, 2010 at 10:43 | comment | added | xenoterracide | How many can it handle? or how many can it handle before you lose some benefit? also what kernel? I suspect that this answer changes somewhat for a computer patched to run a supercomputer. I seem to recall reading about a single instance using 4096 processors... | |
