The BBC Micro which was 6502 based had an add on that let you connect a Z80 straight onto the same bus. Different regards "operating system" I know, but it has been tried before. On Fri, 21 Oct 2016, 17:00 , <kernelnewbies-request@kernelnewbies.org> wrote:

Hello everyone,
Is that possible to install multiple CPUs which have different architecture on a single machine? For example, on a single machine with two different cpu sockets for X86 and MIPS cpu respectively, and these two cpus are inter-connected with some sorts of bus (PCI or other advanced buses).
If it is possible, Is this machine still SMP? What will lscpu (or cat /proc/cpuinfo) dump?
Thx!
