Go up one level in this thread


"Symmetric multiprocessing".  It means that on machines with more than
one CPU (or with a dual core CPU), the program will be able to use all
of them, which makes it run much faster.  The SMP support in Glaurung
is still a bit restricted, though.  It cannot use more than two CPUs
at the moment.

Glaurung 1.0.2 will run exactly as fast on a computer with two CPUs
as on a computer with only one of these CPUs.  My current version
runs almost twice as fast on the computer with two CPUs.
