Multicore

Hi, are there any plans for bringing out a multicore arm mbed platform? It would be awesome to execute several independent programs at the same time. How is the multicore actually handled on a device like the Cortex A9? Is it possible to write four independent programs like on the Parallax Propeller? Regards

There is mbed code for LPC43xx microcontrollers, which are dualcores (an M3 or M4 core iirc together with an M0 core). But since there isn't an mbed compatible board (yet) for it, it isn't available in the online compiler. Afaik both cores have to be programmed independently.
