Tench: The biggest problem in a 2-way Clawhammer system will be keeping the two memory interfaces coherent. Compare this to the 760MP, where there is only one memory interface, and one single northbridge collecting and controlling all of the memory accesses. With 2-way Hammer, the memory accesses have to be split between two interfaces, and that's not easy. Would the memory associated with each processor contain the same data? Or would there be some sort of "global identifier", specifying processorID + memory address? TIA, fyo
