Gedare and I chatted earlier so let me rattle off some ideas:
+ x86 context switch hand off (#2183) + x86 proper APIC support + rtems_ada_self is broken on SMP (#2289) - switch to pthread keys + object extend on SMP (#2280) + other tickets with SMP in the description or component Although a lot has been done, there is a lot left to be done. And a ticket doesn't necessarily equal a bug for us. We are trying to use tickets to track all ideas for work. > There continues to be a lot of ongoing SMP work documented here [2]. > You may like to browse the list and ask if any of those are possibly > good options. > > [1] https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2183 > [2] https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/SMP > >> Thanks! >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> devel mailing list >> devel@rtems.org >> http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list > devel@rtems.org > http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel -- Joel Sherrill, Ph.D. Director of Research & Development joel.sherr...@oarcorp.com On-Line Applications Research Ask me about RTEMS: a free RTOS Huntsville AL 35805 Support Available (256) 722-9985 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
