Massively parallel architectures...
There are more problems to solve besides dispatching. With a large number of processors, you will run into latency problems accessing memory as physical memory gets further away from a particular processor. Multiple queues and thread affinity to processors will be required.
Hardware, O/S, and software need to work together to overcome the obstacles.

CPUs not cores?  ZenMasta | 10/30/08
No, 256 cores. (NT).  TheTruthisOutThere@... | 10/30/08

How much further?  CobraA1 | 10/30/08
They're worried about wasting resources and a sub-optimal O/S ya think?  fr0thy2 | 10/30/08

That's not what the article says.  Zogg | 10/31/08
Talk about dense... Do some research first. Makes you look like an idiot...  transposeIT | 10/31/08
The hardware is a cluster. What I'm refering to (NT)  logicearth@... | 10/31/08
NASA has many Linux supercomputers.  Zogg | 10/31/08
It is called a CLUSTER (NT)  logicearth@... | 10/31/08
You are WRONG.  Zogg | 11/01/08

NO big deal, I've heard of Linux runnig on 300 cores  Linux Geek | 10/31/08
Where is a 300 core processor? Oh yeah they don't exist (NT)  logicearth@... | 10/31/08
You do know that a computer  akulkis | 10/31/08
Only 300? Zogg claims it runs on 2000+ ...Now that motherboard is awesome.  transposeIT | 10/31/08
*Sigh*. Here are the links.  Zogg | 10/31/08
Come on guys  David@... | 10/31/08
