Hi,
Linux kernel 2.6 supports SMP . I also knew that . But does
the Linux kernel 2.6 which is under android support smp multicore ? .
Will android scale on a 8 core processor ? I am not sure whether
google has enabled SMP multicore support in linux kernel or not . If
it is enabled then android should take advantage of smp multicore
because android is using linux CPU scheduling for process. I am still
confused whether android supports SMP multicore or not . Can anybody
confirm me this ?
Thanks in advance.
