Symmetric Multiprocessing, or SMP, is a multiprocessor computer architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory. SMP systems allow any processor to work on any task no matter where the data for that task is located in memory; with proper operating system support. SMP systems can easily move tasks between processors to balance the workload efficiently. Hope ive helped.

What is dual processing?
Dual processing might mean multi-processing which means using more then one CPU core in order to run a system or program. By using many CPU's you can split the workload of many programs over independent CPU's and reduce the workload. Or speed up the operation of one program written to take advantage of many CPU's (usually called Multi-threaded programs). Hope that helps!
