If my understanding is correct you can put up to 4 processor boards
into the machine, each containing a processor and 4 meg of memory.
Does anyone have a clear idea if and how processors will access memory
on other boards ?

Related question: will there be any sort of process migration, i.e.
you get blocked for i/o while running on CPU A and get restarted on
CPU B.

Ideas from those in-the-know ?
