This page is a work in progress. Put everything related to multi-threading here, threads, synchronization, multi-core support, etc.
The Nintendo 3DS offers support for threading through use of [[SVC]] calls.
= Threads =
For Kernel implementation details, see [[KThread]].
Though it is possible to run multi-threaded programs, running those on different cores is not possible "as-is". One core is always dedicated to the OS, hence you will never get 100% of both cores.

= Synchronization =
Most synchronization systems seem to have both a "normal" and "light-weight" version
== Mutex (normal) ==
=== CreateMutex ===
/!\ It seems that the mutex will not be available once the thread that created it is destroyed
=== ReleaseMutex ===
== Ciritical Section (light-weight mutex) ==
== CriticalSection::Initialize ==
Same thread ownership as a mutex ?
=== CriticalSection::Enter ===
=== CriticalSection::Leave ===
== Semaphore ==
== Light Semaphore ? ==
Does it exist ?
== Event ==
== Light Event ==
