MULTIPROCESSING controls the loading of the system synchronization image. Specify one of the following values: Value Description 0 Load the uniprocessing synchronization image SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION_UNI.EXE. 1 If the CPU type is capable of SMP and two or more CPUs are present on the system, load the full-checking multiprocessing synchronization image SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION.EXE. Otherwise, load the uniprocessing synchronization image SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION_UNI.EXE. 2 Always load the full-checking version SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION.EXE, regardless of system configuration or CPU availability. 3 If the CPU type is capable of SMP and two or more CPUs are present on the system, load the optimized streamlined multiprocessing image: o On Alpha and Integrity servers, this image is SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION_MIN.EXE. Otherwise, load the uniprocessing synchronization image SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION_UNI.EXE. The default value is 3. 4 Always load the streamlined multiprocessing image SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION_MIN.EXE, regardless of system configuration or CPU availability. Setting the SYSTEM_CHECK parameter to 1 has the effect of setting MULTIPROCESSING to 2.
