[PATCH] Add Strong APA 2nd test

[Richi Dubey]

Hi Dr. Bloom,

Is the original test that this patch replaces not good?

I'm afraid so. It only tests if the affinity is respected, but there is no
task-shifting in the test.

Simulating a WCET is challenging, but you can get an overestimate by

Thank you. This sounds good and I'll implement this in a week.

I would prefer to add new test cases to smpstrongapa01 and keep the

Okay. I'm working to make a basic test with 4 CPUs. It'll be done in a day.
