multiprocessing

Apple seems to be embracing symmetric multiprocessing on its high-end machines.

These computer systems were characterized by the combination of vector processing and small-scale multiprocessing.

Using symmetric multiprocessing, the processing usage is evenly distributed among all available processors.

The microprocessor was designed to support four-way multiprocessing.

It also provides kernel-based threads and supports symmetric multiprocessing.

Symmetric multiprocessing is supported if a multi-core processor is used.

From release 7.00 onwards symmetrical multiprocessing was available (as opposed to the master - slave concept used before).

To ensure this, any architectural feature that impeded multiple instruction issue, clock rate or multiprocessing was removed.

A multicore system that can do real-time simultaneous multiprocessing.

It also allowed two-way multiprocessing and had new power management features as well as an on chip 8259-compatible interrupt controller.

Linux, and therefore Debian, supports the use of multiple processors in a system (symmetric multiprocessing).

In this way the new specification is optimized for symmetrical multiprocessing and redundant system topologies.

This latter feature was added to handle hardware interrupts correctly, and to improve support for symmetric multiprocessing.

The current standard interface for shared memory multiprocessing is OpenMP.

Erlang has supported symmetric multiprocessing since release R11B of May 2006.

Supports Event Timers allowing multiprocessing.

Bigger systems were sometimes built with a central processor(s) and some number of I/O processors, a kind of asymmetric multiprocessing.

Modern operating systems generally include detailed mechanisms for prioritizing processes, while symmetric multiprocessing has introduced new complexities and capabilities.

The Viprion is a chassis that can hold up to four blades for enhanced redundancy and performance using clustered multiprocessing.

The underlying structure has been rewritten in C and Erlang-style multiprocessing has also been added.

The chip was designed to suit a wide variety applications and had support for external L2 cache and symmetric multiprocessing.

This approach lies between symmetric multiprocessing and asymmetric multiprocessing.

TSS/360 was one of the first implementations of tightly-coupled symmetric multiprocessing.

Hybrid MultiProcessing (computer operating system architecture)

The most recent release, Allegro CL 9.0, supports Symmetric Multiprocessing.
