关于smp

Symmetric multiprocessing  ( SMP ) involves a  symmetric multiprocessor system  hardware and software architecture where two or more identical processors connect to a single, shared  main memory , have full access to all I/O devices, and are controlled by a single operating system instance that treats all processors equally, reserving none for special purposes. Most multiprocessor systems today use an SMP architecture. In the case of multi-core processors, the SMP architecture applies to the cores, treating them as separate processors.
