It was really handy (though somewhat confusing at times) when we were doing the 4 process
i860 addition to the system. It was far too easy to just let use an i386 instance of
some application rather than providing the native one (since the W4 card was a
microchannel card that went into the PS2). Unless you tried really hard, you couldn???t
tell if the app was running remotely.
Yeah, so imagine something like TNC plus my N kernels on NUMA idea. Seems
pretty have your cake and eat it too.
