Hello,

I want to do a demo for linux SMP-capabilities on a highend SMP-box with
povray.

Therefor I have a couple of questions:

- does povray support multithreading, or do I still have to split the
image into sepate processes.

- is there a decent frontend to split up the task for a SMP-box ?

- I read there is an unofficial port of 3.1a. Is it worth trying that
instead of the official version, i.E. do I get any benefit on a
SMP-machine? Does it compile/work with Linux 2.2?

- Does anybody know other programs to *visualize* SMP on Linux?

thanks for your time, juergen
