Most multiprocessor systems today use an SMP architecture. In the case of multi-core processors, the SMP architecture applies to the cores, treating them as separate processors. Tomas, Sigh. I should have known this. Yesterday I had too much going on at one time to realize that the SMP applies to all CPUs with more than one core. Many thanks for pointing out the obvious.
