Is Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) supported on Stellar SR6 P7 R52+ cores

There are several R52+ cores available in Stellar SR6 P7 line, e.g. SR6P7C8.

I have question about the Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) support on these R52+ cores. Is SMP available inside R52+ cluster or among R52+ clusters?

Hello,

SMP is a matter of Operating System.

SR6P7 devices provides support for SMP Real Time Operating Systems.

There is no MMU so Linux OS cannot be supported.

Thanks Giuseppe,

SMP require hardware coherent for both CPU/Core, actually I found the atomic operation issue at following page,

Do you have any idea?

Thanks
