Hi I am currently researching possibilities to run android on SMP. Would there be any blocking points that immediately come to your mind?
Since android in principle (and from my understanding) is using the standard linux process model with standard scheduling, will there be anything that prevents the dalvik VM and the corresponding android framework from running in an SMP environment? What about the bionic libc? I actually think it should be doable with the current sources, correct me if I am wrong. As a starting point to test this, I considered taking the currently ongoing work in x86 support and run it under x86 SMP. Some insight into the x86 support would be nice, can we expect to get something like a generic x86 PC target anytime soon? Are you aware of a project that is working on that? Final target would be ARM Cortex-A9 multicore, but currently I have no access to such hardware.
