Hi all,
Does (any flavour of) plan9 / inferno make use of several cores on
(any flavour of) ARM?
We are investigating how a program can create interference (e.g. slow
down) with one running on different a different core in the context of
embedded, real-time systems. It turns out that most real-time OSes have
poor support of multicore, but the plan9 state of affairs is not clear
to us.
I guess plan9 on x86 do support multicore, but is it the case on ARM? In
particular, on the raspberry-pi 3?
Thanks, and if possible keep Dan (CC'ed) in the loop.

Yes, the current Raspberry kernel developed by Richard Miller
can handle the four cores on the Raspberry Pi 3.
It is available in /n/sources/contrib/miller/9/bcm

yep. 9front zynq kernel runs fine with the two cores, all caches enabled.
