SMP, or Symmetric Multi-Processing, is a computer architecture that allows multiple processors to share a single memory space. This design enables efficient processing by allowing several processors to work on different tasks simultaneously, improving overall system performance. SMP systems are commonly used in servers and high-performance computing environments. In an SMP setup, each processor has equal access to the memory and I/O resources, which helps in balancing the workload. This architecture contrasts with Asymmetric Multi-Processing (AMP), where processors may have different roles and access levels. SMP is widely utilized in modern operating systems, such as Linux and Windows, to enhance multitasking capabilities.
