It included two priority levels to improve real-time and multiprocessor operation.

Other performance problems were related to Mach's support for multiprocessor systems.

Their multiprocessor technology will be instrumental to ARC's future multimedia subsystems.

- A computer that uses two or more processing units under integrated control
- (multiprocessing) simultaneous processing by two or more processing units
- (Multi-Processing) Software feature allowing multiple jobs to be in memory. This may also permit engraving and working on a job at the same time.
- (Multi-processing) An operating system technique which can manage multiple instruction processors, assigning each to operate upon a different instruction stream (program or job) concurrently.
- (Multiprocessing) A technique of executing several program(fragment)s (seemingly) simultaneously on a single machine with multiple execution units.
- (Multiprocessing) Some computers may divide their work between one or more separate CPUs, creating a multiprocessing configuration. Traditionally, this technique was utilized only in large and powerful computers such as supercomputers, mainframe computers and servers. ...
- (Multiprocessing) When a computer has more than one microprocessor as part of the CPU it requries a special O/S to manage the multiple cores or microprocessors. New CPUs for desktop and server computers offer two and four cores in a single CPU. ...
- (multiprocessing) 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.)
- (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. ...
