In a multiprocessor system, provides an additional PE identification mechanism.
AArch32 System register MPIDR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MPIDR_EL1[31:0].
This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to MPIDR are UNDEFINED.
In a uniprocessor system, Arm recommends that each Aff<n> field of this register returns a value of 0.
MPIDR is a 32-bit register.

Indicates whether this implementation includes the functionality introduced by the Armv7 Multiprocessing Extensions.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| M | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
This implementation does not include the Armv7 Multiprocessing Extensions functionality. |
| 0b1 |
This implementation includes the Armv7 Multiprocessing Extensions functionality. |
Access to this field is RAO/WI.
Indicates a Uniprocessor system, as distinct from PE 0 in a multiprocessor system.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| U | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
Processor is part of a multiprocessor system. |
| 0b1 |
Processor is part of a uniprocessor system. |
Access to this field is RO.
Reserved, RES0.
Indicates whether the lowest level of affinity consists of logical PEs that are implemented using an interdependent approach, such as multithreading. See the description of Aff0 for more information about affinity levels.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| MT | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
Performance of PEs with different affinity level 0 values, and the same values for affinity level 1 and higher, is largely independent. |
| 0b1 |
Performance of PEs with different affinity level 0 values, and the same values for affinity level 1 and higher, is very interdependent. |
This field does not indicate that multithreading is implemented and does not indicate that PEs with different affinity level 0 values, and the same values for affinity level 1 and higher are implemented.
Access to this field is RO.
Affinity level 2. See the description of Aff0 for more information.
This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.
Access to this field is RO.
Affinity level 1. See the description of Aff0 for more information.
This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.
Access to this field is RO.
Affinity level 0. The value of the MPIDR.{Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} or MPIDR_EL1.{Aff3, Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} set of fields of each PE must be unique within the system as a whole.
This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.
Access to this field is RO.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
