This paper describes those MP features that Bull and IBM
together introduced into the AIX operating system to support
the Symmetric Multiprocessor machine marketed by Bull under
the Escala name and by IBM under the RS/6000 Models G30, J30
and R30 names.  The PowerPC architecture and the AIX
operating system present some specific challenges.  We
present the major problems encountered and how they were
solved.
