multiprocessor

A computer design in which a single stream of data is broken down by parallel decomposition into smaller chunks and distributed by compilers into multiple microprocessors with shared memory capabilities in order to manipulate the data by parallel processing.

In shared-memory multiprocessors with private caches, large cache blocks may also cause false sharing [Lilja 1993], which occurs when two or more processors wish to access different words within the same cache block and at least one of the accesses is a store.

Coping with memory latency is a fundamental challenge in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Part of the problem is the ever-widening gap between processor and memory speeds--a technology trend that is expected to continue.
Tolerating latency in microprocessors through compiler-inserted prefetching
Parallel, concurrent, and distributed programming required new ways to mediate access to hardware, for example user-level threads were devised to ameliorate the problems of programming multiprocessor machines.
