     3681It is possible to make more than one scheduler algorithm available to the
     3682application.  For example a :ref:`Simple Priority SMP Scheduler
     3683<SchedulerSMPPrioritySimple>` could be used in a partition for low latency
     3684tasks in addition to the :ref:`EDF SMP Scheduler <SchedulerSMPEDF>` for a
     3685general-purpose cluster.  Since the per-thread overhead depends on the
     3686scheduler algorithm only the scheduler algorithms used by the application
     3687should be configured.

    36813689Configuration Step 2 - Schedulers
    36823690---------------------------------
    36833691
    3684 Each scheduler needs a context to store state information at run-time.  Use the
    3685 following macros to create scheduler contexts
    3686 
    3687 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTEXT_EDF_SMP(name, max_cpu_count)``,
    3688 
    3689 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTEXT_PRIORITY_AFFINITY_SMP(name, prio_count)``,
    3690 
    3691 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTEXT_PRIORITY_SMP(name, prio_count)``, and
    3692 
    3693 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTEXT_SIMPLE_SMP(name)``.
    3694 
    3695 The ``name`` parameter is used as part of a designator for a global variable,
    3696 so the usual C/C++ designator rules apply.  This ``name`` is not the scheduler
    3697 object name.  Additional parameters are scheduler-specific.
     3692Each scheduler needs some data structures.  Use the following macros to create
     3693the scheduler data structures for a particular scheduler identified in the
     3694configuration by ``name``.
     3695
     3696- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_EDF_SMP(name, max_cpu_count)``,
     3697
     3698- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_PRIORITY_AFFINITY_SMP(name, prio_count)``,
     3699
     3700- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_PRIORITY_SMP(name, prio_count)``, and
     3701
     3702- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_SIMPLE_SMP(name)``.
     3703
     3704The ``name`` parameter is used as part of a designator for scheduler-specific
     3705data structures, so the usual C/C++ designator rules apply.  This ``name`` is
     3706not the scheduler object name.  Additional parameters are scheduler-specific.

    37033712
    3704 The schedulers are registered in the system via the scheduler table.
    3705 To create the scheduler table define ``CONFIGURE_SCHEDULER_CONTROLS`` to a list
    3706 of the following scheduler control initializers
    3707 
    3708 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTROL_EDF_SMP(name, obj_name)``,
    3709 
    3710 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTROL_PRIORITY_AFFINITY_SMP(name, obj_name)``,
    3711 
    3712 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTROL_PRIORITY_SMP(name, obj_name)``, and
    3713 
    3714 - ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_CONTROL_SIMPLE_SMP(name, obj_name)``.
     3713The schedulers are registered in the system via the scheduler table.  To
     3714populate the scheduler table define ``CONFIGURE_SCHEDULER_TABLE_ENTRIES`` to a
     3715list of the following scheduler table entry initializers
     3716
     3717- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_TABLE_EDF_SMP(name, obj_name)``,
     3718
     3719- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_TABLE_PRIORITY_AFFINITY_SMP(name, obj_name)``,
     3720
     3721- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_TABLE_PRIORITY_SMP(name, obj_name)``, and
     3722
     3723- ``RTEMS_SCHEDULER_TABLE_SIMPLE_SMP(name, obj_name)``.
    37153724
    37163725The ``name`` parameter must correspond to the parameter defining the scheduler
    3717 context.  The ``obj_name`` determines the scheduler object name and can be used
    3718 in :ref:`rtems_scheduler_ident() <rtems_scheduler_ident>` to get the scheduler
    3719 object identifier.  The scheduler index is defined by the index of the
    3720 scheduler table.  It is a configuration error to add a scheduler multiple times
    3721 to the scheduler table.
     3726data structures of configuration step 2.  The ``obj_name`` determines the
     3727scheduler object name and can be used in :ref:`rtems_scheduler_ident()
     3728<rtems_scheduler_ident>` to get the scheduler object identifier.  The scheduler
     3729index is defined by the index of the scheduler table.  It is a configuration
     3730error to add a scheduler multiple times to the scheduler table.

     3743``CONFIGURE_SCHEDULER_ASSIGNMENTS`` to a list of
    37353744

    3740 macros.  The ``scheduler_index`` parameter must
    3741 be a valid index into the scheduler table.  The ``attr`` parameter defines the
    3742 scheduler assignment attributes.  By default, a scheduler assignment to a
    3743 processor is optional.  For the scheduler assignment attribute use one of the
    3744 mutually exclusive variants
     3749macros.  The ``scheduler_index`` parameter must be a valid index into the
     3750scheduler table defined by configuration step 3.  The ``attr`` parameter
     3751defines the scheduler assignment attributes.  By default, a scheduler
     3752assignment to a processor is optional.  For the scheduler assignment attribute
     3753use one of the mutually exclusive variants
