1. New Computer Term.
SMP - Short for Symmetric Multiprocessing SMP is the
processing of a program by multiple processors that
share a common operating system and memory. In symmetric
multiprocessing the processors share memory and the
I/O bus or data path and is controlled by one operating
system. SMP systems generally do not exceed 16 processors.
