If you want to use multiple CPU cores, I believe that ST/X and Gemstone both do this. I haven't tried though.

I'm sorry, I lied.

Smalltalk/X can /not/ use multiple cores. I tried it on a dual-core system; only one core was used :-(.

So now it seems that Gemstone is the only multi-core capable Smalltalk VM :-(.

AFAIK Gemstone isn't multi-core capable as well. You can just run multiple gems and they share the same persistent memory. Which is similar but different. Philippe
