multiprocessing
Sign in to saveAlso known as ALONG
Multiprocessing (MP) is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) within a single computer system. The term also refers to the ability of a system to support more than one processor or the ability to allocate tasks between them. There are many variations on this basic theme, and the definition of multiprocessing can vary with context, mostly as a function of how CPUs are defined (multiple cores on one die, multiple dies in one package, multiple packages in one system unit, etc.).

Bij multiprocessing is er sprake van twee of meer processoren of van een of meer multikernprocessoren in een computer, waarover de systeemprocessen tegelijkertijd verdeeld kunnen worden. De term omvat tevens de mogelijkheid tot ondersteuning van deze techniek, bijvoorbeeld door een besturingssysteem.
