“Because multiprocessor servers put a larger strain on the memory subsystem, increased amounts of on-chip cache can help alleviate that load.”

“In a multiprocessor system, a shielded CPU is a CPU dedicated to the activities associated with high-priority real-time tasks.”

“In multiprocessor machines, multiple threads are an efficient way for application developers to utilize the parallelism of the hardware.”

“In multiprocessing operating systems such as Linux, the system never is dormant.”

“Symmetric multiprocessing set-ups usually involve dual configurations, although more processors can be catered for.”

“For these applications, there's no performance boost to be had in a multiprocessing system.”
