| **Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP)** is the processing of programs by multiple processors that share a common [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os|operating system]] and memory. In symmetric (or "tightly coupled") multiprocessing, the processors share memory and the I/O bus or data path. A single copy of the operating system is in charge of all the processors. SMP, also known as a "shared everything" system, does not usually exceed 16 processors. | **Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP)** is the processing of programs by multiple processors that share a common [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os|operating system]] and memory.
