Step 1

SMP

When several processors collaborate and use the same memory, the system is referred to as SMP. The processors can work on various tasks simultaneously and have equal access to all system resources, which improves performance and speed.

AMP

Contrarily, AMP divides up tasks among its processors, each of which has its own memory and works independently of the others. This method divides the tasks among the processors by having one act as the main processor and controlling the others.
