About the TC2 Engineering Build @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ The TC2 CoreTile is the first example of a big.LITTLE system shipped by ARM and The release contains the big.LITTLE MP patchset developed by ARM. This patchset is hosted by Linaro and can be found in the linked "git repository":https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/big-LITTLE-MP-latest. These patches have been developed and rigorously tested in order to enable the ARM Versatile Express V2P-CA15_A7 CoreTile (TC2) to run in full MP mode. This functionality has been optimised for energy and performance bringing it close to the Cortex-A7 (LITTLE) in energy consumption with near Cortex-A15 (big) performance. The patchset also includes optimizations that provide a considerable performance uplift across a wide range of benchmarks. The functionality introduced by this patchset is stable and ready for use on other platforms. Note that at present this LSK release is the reference point for big.LITTLE MP functionality. -The patches in the big.LITTLE MP patchset are generic and applicable to big.LITTLE systems with minimal porting effort. To ease porting, the patches are also available as an isolated package located "here":https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/VersatileExpress?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=big-LITTLE-MP-scheduler-patchset-14.09-lsk.tar.bz2. This package may be used directly by partners interested in porting the big.LITTLE MP scheduler functionality to their custom platform.
