Ocessor> (From "uni" - one) A computer with a single central prOcessing unit, in contrast to a {parallel prOcessor}. Most {personal computers} are currently (March 1997) uniprOcessors. Some more expensive computers, typically servers, have multiple prOcessors to provide increased throughput. See also symmetric multiprOcessor and {massively parallel prOcessor}. (1997-03-23)
