Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001122

Symmetric Multiprocessing is a computer architecture where multiple identical processors share a single main memory and are controlled by a single operating system instance. All processors have equal access to system resources and can execute any task, allowing for parallel processing of workloads. This design is prevalent in modern multi-core CPUs found in personal computers and servers, where a typical desktop CPU might have 4 to 8 cores.
