<p>&os; now supports Symmetrical MultiProcessing (SMP) on a
variety of ARM multi-core systems. The effort to bring SMP to
ARM has been underway for quite some time, but a major push by
the &os; ARM developer community over the past two months has
resulted in robust production-ready SMP support.</p>
<p>An ever-growing number of ARM-based development boards and
small low-power computer systems are available with multi-core
processors. &os; is now able to make good use of all that
computing power, making such systems more attractive to both end
users and vendors looking to create products based on similar
designs.</p>
<p>SMP is now enabled by default in the configuration files for
all currently-supported systems that have multi-core processors.
This includes systems based on the following processor
families:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allwinner A20</li>
<li>Freescale i.MX6</li>
<li>Marvell Armada XP</li>
<li>Samsung Exynos 5</li>
<li>Texas Instruments OMAP4</li>
</ul>
