<font color="#000088">+@findex CONFIGURE_SCHEDULER_SIMPLE_SMP
+@item Simple SMP Priority Scheduler - This scheduler is derived from the
+Simple Priority Scheduler but is capable of scheduling threads across
+multiple cores. It is designed to provide the same task scheduling
+behaviour as the Deterministic Priority Scheduler while distributing
+threads across multiple cores. Being based upon the Simple Priority
+Scheduler, it is also maintains a single sorted list of all ready threads.
+Thus blocking or unblocking a thread is not a constant time operation
+with this scheduler. In addition, when allocating threads to cores,
+the algorithm is not constant time. This algorithm was not designed
+with efficiency as a primary design goal. Its primary design goal was to
+provide an SMP-aware scheduling algorithm that is simple to understand.
+This scheduler is currently the default in SMP configurations and is
+only selected when @code{CONFIGURE_SMP_APPLICATION} is defined. In a
+configuration with SMP enabled at configure time, it may be explicitly
+selected by defining @code{CONFIGURE_SCHEDULER_SIMPLE_SMP}.

+@item @code{CONFIGURE_SMP_APPLICATION} must be defined if the application
+is to make use of multiple CPU cores in an SMP target system.
