In the early 1960s, Burroughs Corporation introduced a symmetrical MIMD multiprocessor with four CPUs and up to sixteen memory modules connected via a crossbar switch (the first SMP architecture). ... In the late 1960s, Honeywell delivered the first Multics system, another symmetrical multiprocessing system of eight CPUs.

13.1. Symmetrical Multi-Processing ... In a symmetrical multi-processing environment, the CPU's share the same memory, and as a result code running in one CPU can affect the memory used by another. You can no longer be certain that a variable you've set to a certain value in the previous line still has that value;

SMP (Symmetric multiprocessing) by Elizabeth Jane; Very good length and level of content for my inquiry, and so that I got the meaning without the commercial hype - Apple sites are very prevalent on this subject but say very little and use a lot of space to say it.

This can be done either making the different CPUs take on different jobs (asymmetrical multi-processing) or by making them all run in parallel, doing the same job (symmetrical multi-processing, a.k.a. SMP). Doing asymmetrical multi-processing effectively requires specialized knowledge about the tasks the computer should...

Computerworld - SymmetricAL multiprocessing (SMP), a type of computing that uses more than a single processor, rests at one end of a continuum running from the tongue-twister Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (ccNUMA) to the less tightly coupled massively parallel processor systems and on to...

The first version was "OS/2 2.11 for Symmetrical Multiprocessing". A Warp 3 SMP was being developed (not announced) but dropped. Then last year "OS/2 Warp Version 4 Advanced Server, Symmetrical Multiprocessing" came out.
