ABSTRACT:
A plurality of processors are coupled together. One of the processors may comprise a default boot strap processor (“BSP”). Further, the default BSP may determine whether the BSP has local memory and becomes the BSP for the system if the default BSP has local memory, or selects another processor to be the BSP for the system if the default BSP does not have local memory.
