A machine tool control system may include a processing module and subsystem circuitry coupled to the processing module by a bus. The processing module may include memory circuitry and a multi-core processor. The multi-core processor may include a first set of processor cores assigned exclusively to perform real-time tasks for controlling motion relative to one or more axes by executing first instructions stored in the memory circuitry, a second set of processor cores assigned exclusively to perform non-real-time tasks by executing second instructions stored in the memory circuitry, and a timer circuit configured to generate a cycle signal at periodic intervals. The subsystem circuitry may be configured to obtain axis feedback data from one or more feedback encoders and axis control data from the first set of processor cores during each of the periodic intervals. The subsystem circuitry further may be configured to provide the obtained axis feedback data to the first set of processor cores and the axis control data to one or more axis drivers in response to the cycle signals generated by the timer circuit.
