your Compaq server. INTRODUCTION Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) denotes the use of multiple processors in an intraNetWare environment. Each processor has equal access to system resources, including system interrupts, memory, I/O bus and peripheral support. SMP provides more processing power, often - HP ProLiant 2500 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 4
or other components. The Systempro/XL and ProLiant family were the first Compaq SMP servers and used the 8259 programmable interrupt controller. This architecture is symmetric: any processor can service any interrupt and there are separate Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels, timers and Programmable - HP ProLiant 2500 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 5
to communicate with the processors. The PSM that Compaq supplies for intranetWare/NetWare 4.11 SMP is CPQSMP.PSM. This hardware support provides the same functionality as any device driver. For example, a network interface card requires a device driver to communicate between the network card and the - HP ProLiant 2500 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 6

be used when you want file server response (NetWare NLMs) to be minimally affected by the SMP aware applications. The boot processor is dedicated to NetWare. Even when extra CPU time is available, SMP aware applications cannot use the boot processor to service SMP application calls. When an SMP - HP ProLiant 2500 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 8
