What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing)
Although SMP can be more expensive than other methods, it provides SMBs with various benefits. Users can complete more processes because multiple processors are working together on the same project. Or, if one processor fails, another processor can continue to complete tasks. This can reduce downtime and improve productivity within an organization.
