+Multiprocessing Configuration
+=============================
+
+This section defines the multiprocessing related system configuration
+parameters supported by ``<rtems/confdefs.h>``.  They are only used if RTEMS
+was built with the ``--enable-multiprocessing`` build configuration option.
+The multiprocessing (MPCI) support must not be confused with the SMP support.
+
+Additionally, this class of Configuration Constants are only applicable if
+``CONFIGURE_MP_APPLICATION`` is defined.
+
+.. index:: CONFIGURE_MP_APPLICATION
+
+.. _CONFIGURE_MP_APPLICATION:
+
+CONFIGURE_MP_APPLICATION
+------------------------
+
+CONSTANT:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_APPLICATION``
+
+DATA TYPE:
+    Boolean feature macro.
+
+RANGE:
+    Defined or undefined.
+
+DEFAULT VALUE:
+    This is not defined by default.
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    This configuration parameter must be defined to indicate that the
+    application intends to be part of a multiprocessing
+    configuration. Additional configuration parameters are assumed to be
+    provided.
+
+NOTES:
+    This has no impact unless RTEMS was built with the
+    ``--enable-multiprocessing`` build configuration option.
+
+.. index:: CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS
+
+.. _CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS:
+
+CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS
+-----------------------------------
+
+CONSTANT:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS``
+
+DATA TYPE:
+    Unsigned integer (``uint32_t``).
+
+RANGE:
+    Positive.
+
+DEFAULT VALUE:
+    The default value is 32.
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS`` is the maximum number of
+    concurrently active global objects in a multiprocessor system.
+
+NOTES:
+    This value corresponds to the total number of objects which can be created
+    with the ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` attribute.
+
+.. index:: CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_NODES
+
+.. _CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_NODES:
+
+CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_NODES
+--------------------------
+
+CONSTANT:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_NODES``
+
+DATA TYPE:
+    Unsigned integer (``uint32_t``).
+
+RANGE:
+    Positive.
+
+DEFAULT VALUE:
+    The default value is 2.
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_NODES`` is the maximum number of nodes in a
+    multiprocessor system.
+
+NOTES:
+    None.
+
+.. index:: CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_PROXIES
+
+.. _CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_PROXIES:
+
+CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_PROXIES
+----------------------------
+
+CONSTANT:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_PROXIES``
+
+DATA TYPE:
+    Unsigned integer (``uint32_t``).
+
+RANGE:
+    Undefined or positive.
+
+DEFAULT VALUE:
+    The default value is 32.
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_PROXIES`` is the maximum number of concurrently
+    active thread/task proxies on this node in a multiprocessor system.
+
+NOTES:
+    Since a proxy is used to represent a remote task/thread which is blocking
+    on this node. This configuration parameter reflects the maximum number of
+    remote tasks/threads which can be blocked on objects on this node.
+
+.. COMMENT: XXX - add xref to proxy discussion in MP chapter
+
+.. index:: CONFIGURE_MP_MPCI_TABLE_POINTER
+
+.. _CONFIGURE_MP_MPCI_TABLE_POINTER:
+
+CONFIGURE_MP_MPCI_TABLE_POINTER
+-------------------------------
+
+CONSTANT:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MPCI_TABLE_POINTER``
+
+DATA TYPE:
+    pointer to ``rtems_mpci_table``
+
+RANGE:
+    undefined or valid pointer
+
+DEFAULT VALUE:
+    This is not defined by default.
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_MPCI_TABLE_POINTER`` is the pointer to the MPCI
+    Configuration Table.  The default value of this field is``&MPCI_table``.
+
+NOTES:
+    RTEMS provides a Shared Memory MPCI Device Driver which can be used on any
+    Multiprocessor System assuming the BSP provides the proper set of
+    supporting methods.
+
+.. index:: CONFIGURE_MP_NODE_NUMBER
+
+.. _CONFIGURE_MP_NODE_NUMBER:
+
+CONFIGURE_MP_NODE_NUMBER
+------------------------
+
+CONSTANT:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_NODE_NUMBER``
+
+DATA TYPE:
+    Unsigned integer (``uint32_t``).
+
+RANGE:
+    Positive.
+
+DEFAULT VALUE:
+    The default value is ``NODE_NUMBER``, which is assumed to be set by the
+    compilation environment.
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    ``CONFIGURE_MP_NODE_NUMBER`` is the node number of this node in a
+    multiprocessor system.
+
+NOTES:
+    In the RTEMS Multiprocessing Test Suite, the node number is derived from
+    the Makefile variable ``NODE_NUMBER``. The same code is compiled with the
+    ``NODE_NUMBER`` set to different values. The test programs behave
+    differently based upon their node number.
