    One instance of SPI ran by 2 cores.

    I don't have any experience with dual-cores and I'm wondering if you can set one instance of a program (say SPI) to run with both cores (by setting the affinities).

    And, if it's possible, would the application run faster?

    spi isn't multi threaded so no you can't.
