Windows Embedded Compact 7(WEC7)一個最重要的特性就是對多核處理器的支持(Symmetric Multi-Processing(SMP))，ESM6802是英創(chuàng)公司推出的基于Freescale i.MX6DL雙核處理器的高性能工控主板，預(yù)裝正版WEC7嵌入式操作系統(tǒng)，并且內(nèi)核啟用了對SMP的支持。在多個程序同時執(zhí)行的情況下，支持SMP的多核系統(tǒng)具有比單處理器更好的性能，因為不同的程序可以在不同的處理器上同時運行，支持SMP還可以實現(xiàn)在一個核心上執(zhí)行硬實時應(yīng)用程序，而用戶界面(UI)或其它應(yīng)用程序可在另一個核心上運行，以提高系統(tǒng)的效率。

WEC7提供了一組處理多核系統(tǒng)上線程和處理器調(diào)度的SMP API接口函數(shù)：

其中應(yīng)用程序常用的SMP API如下所示：

默認(rèn)情況下，WEC7系統(tǒng)會自動的將系統(tǒng)負(fù)載分配到CPU的所有核心上運行，應(yīng)用程序不需要做任何設(shè)置。但根據(jù)不同的應(yīng)用場景，應(yīng)用程序也可以利用SMP API手動的設(shè)置每個進(jìn)程、每個線程在指定的CPU核心上運行，這里以計算ESM6802 i.MX6DL CPU每個核心的負(fù)載為例，介紹WEC7 SMP API的使用方法。

應(yīng)用程序首先通過CeGetTotalProcessors函數(shù)獲取當(dāng)前系統(tǒng)總的處理器(核心)個數(shù)，然后根據(jù)CPU核心個數(shù)創(chuàng)建相同數(shù)量的CPUIdleMonitorThread應(yīng)用線程用于計算CPU負(fù)載，在創(chuàng)建線程后通過CeSetThreadAffinity函數(shù)將所創(chuàng)建的線程固定在指定的CPU核心上運行。CPUIdleMonitorThread線程函數(shù)在執(zhí)行時先調(diào)用GetCurrentProcessorNumber函數(shù)取得執(zhí)行當(dāng)前線程的CPU核，而后再利用CeGetIdleTimeEx函數(shù)最終計算出每個CPU核心的負(fù)載率。完整的例子代碼如下：
