A message from Shawn:
I will be bringing a Sun T2000 machine that I have on demo to the MUUG meeting tomorrow night for those people interested in taking a look at it.
This is one of the machines using the UltraSPARC T1 (aka Niagra) processor which has 8 cores on one chip with 4 threads for each core.
Here is the output from the operating system showing that it does see 32 actual processors.

If anyone would like to see something run on it for benchmarking purposes, please get in touch with me, I don't think we can do it at the meeting, but I might be able to either get you a shell or run it for you.
I will have some pictures up soon at this URL ...
