Has anyone gotten the recently posted (comp.sources.unix) automounter,
amd, to work on the Sequent Symmetry?  There's a note in the INSTALL
file that says it hangs the machine.  Reason I'm asking is that we've
developed a virtual file system that interfaces to the operating system
in the same way as amd (mounts itself as an NFS filesystem from host
"localhost") and it hangs our S81 pretty solidly.  This programs works
on all our other machines (Sun3's , Sun4's, Sun386i's, SGI 4D's, and
Mac's running A/UX), so I'm pretty convinced the trouble is in the OS
and not in the code.  The question is, is there anything I can do to
get this working?

Could we run a C++ program on several processors in parallel ?

#211

Could we write a C++ program and then run it on several processors
of Sequent in parallel ? If we could, how can we write that program ?
I tried to combine C++ with Parallel Programming Library. However,
C++ seems to have the problem to recognize the keywords such as "shared".

Welcome any suggestion and thanks a lot in advance.

Check out Presto, a package by Brian Bershad at the UW.  It is a slick
package that will do what you want and then more.  It is available via
ftp from cs.washington.edu.  Caution - you will need ATT C++ 1.2.1 to
get it running on a Sequent.  Hopefully some day it will be ported to
g++.  Good luck!
