7. Alpha architecture specific questions

7.1 Which Alpha machines are supported ?

(Geerten Kuiper) SMP works for most, if not all, AXP servers.

(Jay A Estabrook) SMP does seem to work on most of our [Compaq] boxes with 2 or more CPUs. That includes :

It does not include :

  • AS2100A (LYNX)
  • TurboLaser bigboys (8200/8400)

(Alpha Processor Inc) SMP support has been qualified for all API SMP systems starting from later 2.2-series kernels (approximately kernel 2.2.7). At the time of writing, that is :

  • DP264
  • UP2000
See API's support website for more info.
