HI,
Does any body have any idea about the maximum number of CPUs that Linux can support.
I could find some experiments being done on 8 way machines. Can it support more than that,
what about a 48 way??

SGI sells linux machines that have 2048 processors.
so with 48 .. you're not even close to the limit.
