Those are SMP safe. I suspect you are using the Classic API (e.g.
rtems_task_) and by default they do not have floating point enabled. You
probably just need to enable the floating point attribute on the task
create calls (or for the init task).

https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/c-user/task/directives.html#rtems-task-create

See configuring a system chapter for the init task setting.

If you provide the exception, we would know for sure.
