Subject: on a slightly more fun note

Just booted Plan 9 on a 1024+16 node BG/P this week. .
All credit to jmk, ericvh, and charles for this fantastic test run and
the existence of this new kernel.
Plan is to double it just a few times until we hit 65536 or so. Then
the fun begins: turning on all cores, so we get to
262144 cpus.
Boots kinda fast, too. It's peppy. No current plans to run acme,
though we have run rio on a bg/l cpu node in 2007, as ericvh related
on his blog.
managing output is interesting in this world.
