I cannot say what the "official" definition is. What I had in mind was a computer in which separate multiprocessors would be used together, but not "symmetrically," to achieve a common objective. The main idea I was focussing on was that the "symmetry" of SMP is not a requirement. Tasks associated with individual processors could be similar to or radically different from those of other processors. Maybe someone can come up with a better definition of AMP. Bob D.
