@section Introduction
The Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) support of the RTEMS @value{VERSION} is
available on
@itemize @bullet
@item ARM,
@item PowerPC, and
@item SPARC.
@end itemize
It must be explicitly enabled via the @code{--enable-smp} configure command
line option. To enable SMP in the application configuration see
@ref{Configuring a System Enable SMP Support for Applications}. The default
scheduler for SMP applications supports up to 32 processors and is a global
fixed priority scheduler, see also @ref{Configuring a System Configuring
Clustered Schedulers}. For example applications see
@file{testsuites/smptests}.
This chapter describes the services related to Symmetric Multiprocessing
provided by RTEMS.
