Hi Greg k-h,
Thanks a lot for your response.
I want to understand how SMP works and what should be the requirements to enable SMP, This is to understand, whether is it possible to enable SMP on different cores. Right now I don't have a machine with different cores.
Thanks Madhu

Hi All,
If i want to enable SMP, cores should be of same version( ex: both core should ARM 7 ) or we could enable SMP on different version.
Do you have a machine that has cores of different versions of a CPU? If so, what are they?
thanks,
greg k-h
Madhu, SMP requires a single computer with multiple cores. If and when you buy a computer with multiple cores, I encourage you to buy one where all the cores are the same. BTW: in both Arm and Intel, the lowest end multi-core CPU PCs use a single socket solution, so you have absolutely no option of having different architectures on that single socket. Greg (not KH)
