As of OTP R11B, the Erlang VM has SMP support for modern versions of Linux, Solaris and MacOSX on PPC, but not for Microsoft Windows. The -smp flag enables SMP on supported platforms. Given that Erlang programs are naturally written in a concurrent manner, most programs require no modification at all to take advantage of SMP. A more loosely coupled approach is to start multiple Erlang nodes on the same server.
