Symmetric Multiprocessor. An SMP system is a multiprocessor computer that uses a shared-memory architecture. SMP systems are usually either a tightly coupled or a loosely coupled architecture.
( ymmetric ulti rocessing) is a computer architecture that provides fast performance by making multiple processors available to complete individual processes simultaneously. Unlike asymmetrical processing, any idle processor can be assigned any task, and additional processors can be added to improve performance and handle increased loads. A variety of today's operating systems and hardware configurations are available to support SMP. Specific applications can benefit from SMP if the code provides for multithreading. SMP uses a single operating system and shares common memory and disk input/output resources. Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional and many flavors of Linux and UNIX support SMP.
See Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP). speed up The concept that more hardware can perform the same task in less time than the original system. With added hardware, speed up holds the task constant and measures time savings. (See also: scale up.)
Symmetrical Multi Processing. A computer hardware architecture which distributes the computing load over a small number of identical processors, which share memory. Very common in Unix and Windows NT/2000 systems.
Symmetric Multi-Processor. A machine where the system looks exactly the same to each processor on the system.
Symmetric MultiProcessing - architecture of a multiprocessor machine, where all CPUs are equal and are sharing one copy of operating system. When compared to clusters, it is easier to write applications for SMP machines due to the shared memory and OS, but SMP machines are more expensive for the same number of CPU than clusters
Symmetric Multiprocessing. A multiprocessor architecture in which all processors are identical, share memory, and execute both user code and operating system code.
Special Multi-Peril Policy. A business policy which combines in one contract the coverages normally purchased under several policies. Many options and endorsements are available to tailor it to the policyholder's needs.
See symmetric multiprocessing.
Symmetrical multiprocessing. Systems with more than one processor which fairly share the work amongst those processors.
shared memory processor or symmetric multiprocessor
Symmetrical Multi-Processing. The "shared everything" approach of parallel computing.
Special Multi-Peril Policy. A package policy for commercial accounts containing four principal sections of coverage: property, liability, crime and boiler and machinery. The basic policy contains declarations, general provisions and definitions applicable to these sections. The specific coverage requirements for each section are handled by separate forms. The types of accounts eligible for this policy can be grouped in eight categories: motel/hotel, apartment house, office, mercantile, service, industrial and processing, institution and contractors. This policy is rarely used., it has been replaced in most jurisdictions by the commercial package policy (CPP).
Symmetric Multi-Processing. This term is often used for compute nodes with shared memory that are part of a larger system and where this collection of nodes forms the total system. The nodes may be organised as a ccNUMA system or as a distributed memory system of which the nodes can be programmed using OpenMP while inter-node communication should be done by message passing.
Symmetric Multiprocessing: i.e. add more CPU's, divide the work
Symmetric Multiprocessing, or SMP, is a multiprocessor computer architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory. Most common multiprocessor systems today use an SMP architecture.
Symmetric multiprocessor. A multiprocess computer in which all the processors have equal access to all machine resources. Symmetric multiprocessors have no manager or worker processes.
Symmetric multi-processing is a computer configuration where many CPUs share a common operating system, main memory and disks. They can work on different parts of a problem at the same time.
An abbreviation for ymmetric ulti rocessing. A system that uses two or more processors is said to be a multiprocessing system. A multiprocessing system where both processors have more or less equal status (in particular, both can execute most kernel mode code) is a symmetric multiprocessing system. Some versions of OS/2 support SMP; notably a special version of OS/2 2.1, Warp Server 3, Warp Server 4, Warp Server for e-Business, and (as an option) eComStation.
Is Symmetric Multi-Processing.
Symmetric multiprocessing. Used to describe a system that has two or more processors connected via a high-bandwidth link and managed by an operating system, where each processor has equal access to I/O devices.
Symmetric Multi-Processor, a shared memory system from IBM featuring up to eight RS/6000 processors connected by a crossbar switch.
Symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) is the ability of a multiprocessor system to execute the same version of the operating system, access common memory, and execute instructions simultaneously.
Abbreviation for symmetric multiprocessing. SMP is a system that has two or more microprocessors connected via a high-bandwidth link and managed by an operating system, where each microprocessor has equal access to I/O devices. This is in contrast to parallel processing, where a front-end microprocessor handles all I/O to disks, terminals, local area networks, and so on.
Symmetric multiprocessing. A system with two or more CPUs that share equal (symmetric) access to all of the facilities of a computer system, such as the memory and I/O subsystems. In an HP XC system, the use of SMP technology increases the number of CPUs (amount of computational power) available per unit of space.
Symmetric multiprocessor. A type of multiprocessor computer in which memory is shared among the processors.
Short for Symmetric Multiprocessing, a computer architecture that provides fast performance by making multiple CPUs available to complete individual processes simultaneously (multiprocessing). Unlike asymmetrical processing, any idle processor can be assigned any task, and additional CPUs can be added to improve performance and handle increased loads. A variety of specialized operating systems and hardware arrangements are available to support SMP. Specific applications can benefit from SMP if the code allows multithreading. SMP uses a single operating system and shares common memory and disk input/output resources. Both UNIX and Windows NT support SMP.
