V will be modified several times during the calculation and will need whole
32KB per core. Can I load the binary executable image in just one core
memory area and run it from the rest of the cores?
If we can do that the memory map will looks something like:
0-31K for V on first core
32-63K for V on second core
...
416-447K for V on fourteenth core
448-479K for V on fifteenth core
480-?? for binary executable image
??-??? for XY B first core.
....
??-??? for XY B fifteenth core.
With this approach only 15 of 16 cores can be used because there is no
memory for the sixteenth core.
