Not according to Jim Starkey, the original architect of InterBase -

"I understand you you're saying, particularly since I designed it that way.  But 
classic doesn't scale well for update intensive applications, doesn't meet 
contemporary standards for robustness, and has unenforceable security.  If you 
are looking for an existence proof, yes, it does run on SMP, but not in a manner 
  attractive to new users."
