    13 architecture where 2 or more identical processes can connect to a single shared

    14 main memory. SMP allows simultaneous execution of threads. This means that

    15 overall performance is improved and ultimately battery life is extended.

    16 This section introduces the main concepts applied to SMP including Threading

    17 Models, Interrupt Handling, Locking and Memory Barriers.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
