| | multiprocessing - a Whatis.com definition |
 | | Multiprocessing is the coordinated processing of programs by more than one computer processor. | | | Multiprocessing is a general term that can mean the dynamic assignment of a program to one of two or more computers working in tandem or can involve multiple computers working on the same program at the same time (in parallel). | | | Multiprocessing can also be confused with multitasking, the management of programs and the system services they request as tasks that can be interleaved, and with multithreading, the management of multiple execution paths through the computer or of multiple users sharing the same copy of a program. |

| | multiProcessing |
| | Multiprocessing is a simple extension to Processing that makes it easy to populate a screen with many independent agents each with their own execution loop, running simultaneously. | | | It is important to note that MultiProcessing is built essentially in Processing, meaning that there isn't anything you can do with MultiProcessing that you couldn't do with a sufficiently sophisticated Processing program. | | | MultiProcessing also includes support for particle systems, arcball rotation, and DXF file export. |

| | Public-Sector Multiprocessing Emerges - December 1995 |
| | Multiprocessing is no longer a mainframe or minicomputer solution. | | | With multiprocessing still in the early phases of use in both the commercial and government sector, it's hard to predict just how significant this computing architecture will become. | | | Besides speed, multiprocessing has other benefits as well, including scalability -- SMP can start with two processors and scale up to 32 -- the ability to handle complex queries, and support for continuous operations. |

| | Multiprocessing |
| | Multiprocessing is managed by the operating system, which allocates different tasks to be performed by the various processors in the system. | | | In addition, multiprocessing is most effective when used with application software designed specifically for it. | | | This is a rigid design that results in lost performance during those times when the computer needs to run many system tasks and no user tasks, or vice versa. |
