The ARM ARM describes the architectural requirements for a system to be able to work correctly. Specific implementations can add further abilities within the scope of this. And Linux can then have additional requirements for how to enable SMP/HMP.. > So, how does the big.LITTLE HMP system treat two clusters as a Inner > shareable domain?
