I am not sure what this means - it could be a hidden race condition, the algorithm might need some jitter to work or it could still be a simulator issue.

I have pushed a patch to my sis repository at rtems.org that adds an emulated L1 cache to SMP configurations and also improves timing for a few instructions. The epoch.exe test now runs on both SPARC and RISC-V for 3 and 4 cpus. To pass on 2 cpus, a smaller time-slice in the simulator is needed, e.g. -d 17. Feel free to test...
