    77The ALMOS-MKH boot procedure can be decomposed in two phases:
    88 * The architecture dependent phase, implemented by an architecture specific '''boot_loader''' procedure.
    9  * The architecture independent phase, implemented by a generic '''kernel-init''' procedure.
     9 * The architecture independent phase, implemented by a generic (architecture independent) '''kernel-init''' procedure.

    1111As the generic (i.e. architecture independent) kernel initialization procedure is executed in parallel by all kernel instances in all clusters containing at least one core and one memory bank, the main task of the boot-loader is to load - in each cluster - a local copy of

    5252In all clusters, the core with local index 0 is called ''CP0''.

    6563All cores execute the same preloader code, but the work done depends on the core identifier. The core[0][0] (i.e. CP0 in cluster 0) load

    6765each core activates its private WTI channel in the local ICU (Interrupt Controller Unit) to be wake-up by core [0][0], using an
