Aucbvax.4130 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Wed Sep 30 15:27:13 1981 Number of UNIX users on a VAX >From decvax!pur-ee!aef@Berkeley Wed Sep 30 15:23:19 1981 There have been comments recently in news about the number of users present or supportable on various systems. We recently hit the Century mark (over 100) users on our Dual-Processor Vax 11/780 system. The record at present is 105 users logged in at one time, although 70-80 is typical and normal. Most users are instructional compiles, edits, etc., although some research jobs are present. Our system runs 4.1BSD (modified where necessary) for the Dual-Processor code. George Goble and Mike Marsh of the Purdue EE Digital Services Group are overall responsible for this effort.

A paper is in development which describes in more detail the implementation, so requests for information will be delayed until such time as a final report is issued.

P.S. Submission of this to sri-unix!unix-wizards has failed to put this back on USENET. Trying again to ucbvax!unix-wizards.
