ASYMMETRIC multiprocessing:    In this each processor is assigned a specific task. Amaster processor controls the system;  the other processors either look to master for instruction or have predefined tasks. This scheme defines master slave relationship.

Symmetric multiprocessing:   (smp) in this each processor perform all tasks within the operating system.  SMP means that all processor are peer, no master slave.
