The next meeting of the Ottawa Carleton Unix Users' Group will be held
on Wednesday, February 17th, 1992 at 7:30 pm in Room A3, Algonquin
College, Rideau Campus, 200 Lees Avenue. (Room A3 is at the extreme
southeast end of the campus.)
The speaker this month will be Jim Sullivan, Manager, System Engineering
Group, SCO Canada who will be speaking on multiprocessing and SCO MPX.
The simple PC has progressed significantly over the past three years
with the introduction of industry-standard multiprocessor platforms.
The systems stretch the definition of a Personal Computer, offering
power and performance at a price point that breaks all previous
records. Unfortunately, there is a general misunderstanding of how
multiprocessing works in the Intel/Open Systems environments and
where/when you will see benefits.
SCO currently ships the only shrink-wrapped open system operating
system that supports multiprocessing. In this talk we will discuss
some of the features of the Intel Multiprocessing Platforms and SCO
MPX, as well as discuss where a multiprocessing platform fits within
a business.
Jim Sullivan is the Manager of the System Engineering Group in SCO
Canada. He's been involved in UNIX and Open Systems for 8 years,
first as a developer for HCR Corporation and subsequently as a
Operating System Product Specialist and System Engineer. SCO is the
leader in installed UNIX systems, with over 25% of the total installed
UNIX systems and over 75% of the installed Intel UNIX systems.
Please note that the date of the March meeting has been changed to March
24th, 1993. This is one week later the usual.
The Ottawa Carleton Unix Users' Group (also sometimes known as ocunix
and as OCRI Unix) is sponsored by the Ottawa Carleton Research Institute
(OCRI) and meets on the third Wednesday of each month except during July
and August. Membership is free and is open to anyone who wishes to attend.
