Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is multiprocessing?
A
The computer has more than one core processor
B
where tasks are done apparently at the same time
C
Where more than one computer is used to carry out instructions
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A multicore processor is an integrated circuit that has two or more processor cores attached for enhanced performance and reduced power consumption. These processors also enable more efficient simultaneous processing of multiple tasks, such as with parallel processing and multithreading.

Detailed explanation-2: -The symmetric multiprocessing operating system is also known as a “shared every-thing” system, because the processors share memory and the Input output bus or data path.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Multiprocessing operating system uses multiple central processing units within a single system. It enables a system to support more than one processor and divide the tasks among them. Every process requires a CPU for its execution. So this allows multiple processes to execute parallelly on different processing units.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many computers have more than one processor (CPU). These are sometimes referred to as multi-core systems. The workload of running all of the programs on your computer is shared between the processors. The more processors you have, the more the work can be shared out.
