Abstract

A hybrid co-processing system including both complex instruction set computer (CISC) architecture-based processing clusters and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture-based processing clusters includes a parser to derive from a hardware configuration specific to the CISC architecture, such as an ACPI table, a device tree specific to the RISC architecture for booting. The hardware configuration information indicated by the device tree is specific to the RISC architecture, and in different cases includes more, less, or revised information than a corresponding ACPI table for the same hybrid co-processing system.
