Examples of multiprocessing
multiprocessing
A multi-core processor implements multiprocessing in a single physical package.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Multiprogramming is also basic form of multiprocessing, a much broader term.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It was designed for interconnecting multiprocessing systems.
From the en.wikipedia.org
These twin barriers have flipped the equation, making multiprocessing practical even for small systems.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The challenge of multiprocessing has been around for decades.

Release 4.2MP, completed late 1993, added support for multiprocessing and It was released as UnixWare 2 in 1995.
From the en.wikipedia.org
These computer systems were characterized by the combination of vector processing and small-scale multiprocessing.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, because the garbage collector is not designed for concurrency, symmetric multiprocessing is not supported.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Unlike UNIX, which was developed without regard for multiprocessing, Mach incorporates multiprocessing support throughout.

- Simultaneous processing by two or more processing units
- (multiprocessor) (n.) A computer in which processors can execute separate instruction streams, but have access to a single address space. Most multiprocessors are shared memory machines, constructed by connecting several processors to one or more memory banks through a bus or switch. ...
- Running more than one CPU in the same system. Multics was designed from the beginning to support symmetric multiprocessing, meaning that all CPUs take an equal role in the system; there's no "master" CPU. (Although the "bootload CPU" had a special role for a long time.)
- The application of multiple processors (CPUs) to the same problem, running in parallel. Ideally, this would result in a linear speedup proportional to the number of processors, but in general, the improvement is somewhat less than this because of overhead, communication delays, and data access ...
- A technique of executing several program(fragment)s (seemingly) simultaneously on a single machine with multiple execution units.
- A computer process in which more than one type of data processing task can be carried out at the same time.
- Simultaneous execution of instructions by multiple processors within a single computer.
- A computer operating method in which two or more processors are linked and execute multiple programs simultaneously.
- Denotes computer systems with multiple processors.
