Remotely, yes. The MMLite base was architected to support parallelism, but as of press time (March 2002), MMLite has yet to boot on a parallel system. To implement MMLite in parallel, one must first implement an interrupt arbitration scheme that is, one must design and develop a means by which hardware interrupts are delegated to specific CPUs. As this is hardware dependent, it is not a part of the MMLite base. In addition to interrupt arbitration, the MMLite schedulers do not at this time support multiple processors in an efficient manner (although they should work at a very basic level).
