This may turn out to be a duplicate because the last time I posted this
article it disappeared in the the netland. I am in urgent need of this
info, so here it is again:

What articles/research/papers/studies ...:-) etc. exists which compares
different UNIX versions (System V and BSD) as to their suitability as a 
operating system for parallel processing? Also, what other information exists
comparing MACH to versions of multi-processor UNIX???

We are trying to determine if its a good idea to take one of the available
UNIX versions and change it to a multi-processor version to run on our 
symmetric multi-processor machines or to start off with MACH as a base. In
addition we also have to support parallel processing.

Any ideas would be welcome

Thanx in advance
