SPEAR600: General-purpose
Application examples: clustering
SPEAR600 may support asymmetric multi-processing for 2 cores.
One possible configuration is based on “clustering”:
– Two instances (runtime copies) of Linux kernel, each running on its own core
– Synchronization by HWLOCK (HW semaphores)
– Shared memory (DDR)
– On-chip peripherals accessible by both Linux instances or partitioned according to custom schemes
SP600
ARM9 Core 1
ARM9 Core 2
– Standard MPI API/framework for inter-processor communication
(virtual sockets)

– Not officially supported in LSP
