1.多重处理
2.多机处理
1.the operation of a computer in which two or more processing units work on separate parts of the same program or set of instructions to reduce processing time
1.Multiprocessing: A computer system that uses two or more processors that share memory and input and output devices.
多道处理：有两个或两个以上共享内存和输入输出设备的处理器的计算机系统。
2.Parallel computation is defInitely one of the objectives In designIng multiprocessIng systems.
并行计算肯定是设置多处理系统的目的之一。
3.The Linux kernel also supports multiprocessing known as symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
Linux内核也支持多处理（multiprocessing），称为对称多处理（SMP）。
4.But now, twenty years later, multiprocessing has returned to these same personal computer systems through symmetric multiprocessing.
但是到了二十年后的现在，多处理利用对称多处理技术又回到了个人计算机系统中。
5.It features communications acceleration, chip multiprocessing, and simultaneous multithreading (SMT).
它的特色是通信加速、芯片多进程和同步多线程（simultaneousmultithreading，SMT）。
6.Today, chip-level multiprocessing provides more CPUs on a single chip, permitting even greater performance due to reduced memory latency.
现在，芯片级多处理能够在单个芯片上提供更多的CPU，由于减少了内存延迟，因而可获得更高的性能。
7.The goal of response-oriented multiprocessing (or parallel processing) is to minimize system response time for computational demands.
面向响应时间的多处理机系统（或并行处理系统）的目标是使完成计算所需的系统响应时间最少。
8.Before discussing the application of multiprocessing in Linux, let's take a quick look back at the history of multiprocessing.
在开始讨论Linux中的多处理应用程序之前，我们先来快速地回顾一下多处理的历史。
9.High-availability multiprocessing systems are generally interactive, often with never-fail real-time on-line performance requirements.
高利用率的多处理机系统一般是交互式的，而且常要求具有无故障、实时、在线性能。
10.Support symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) is a fundamental requirement for modern network operating system.
支持SMP（对称多处理）技术等等都是对现代网络操作系统的基本要求。
