Abstract
Support for the operation of PowerPC symmetric multiprocessing systems was introduced with Version 4 of the AIX operating system. This paper describes its evolution from the uniprocessor Version 3 implementation. It also discusses the kernel changes to support threads which allow applications to exploit the inherent parallelism of SMP.
