Okay, in light of the new machines that were just announced... anyone
know the scoop. I've been looking at stuff on Apple's web site, and
there seems to be some conflicting information. On one hand, some stuff
seems to imply that since OS X is inherently MP aware, that you don't
need to do anything special to your apps to make them take advantage of
all the processors in a given machine. Other things say that a program
not compiled to take advantage of it will only utilize one processor,
but that the OS will balance loads as it assigns which processor a
non-MP-aware app goes to.
The MP SDK and material on the web site seems to be all carbon/classic,
so I'm a little confused. What, if anything, is involved in making a
Cocoa app MP-aware?
