Asymmetric Multi-Processing (AMP) is a computing architecture where multiple processors work on different tasks, but not all processors are equal. In this setup, one processor, often called the master, controls the system and assigns specific tasks to the other processors, known as slaves. This allows for efficient task management and can lead to improved performance for certain applications. In contrast to Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP), where all processors share equal responsibilities, AMP is designed for scenarios where tasks can be divided based on the capabilities of each processor. This makes AMP particularly useful in embedded systems and real-time applications, where specific tasks require dedicated processing power.
