When a computer has two or more Central Processing Units it is considered SMP?

Typically, yes. Symmetrical Multiprocessing refers more to two identical processors, but software designed for SMP can still be used on mismatched dual processors. It also applies for multi-core processors.
Typically, when software designed for SMP, it simply means that it has multiple threads that allow it to use more than one processor at a time. Non-SMP software will still work on a SMP system (including non-SMP kernels). SMP software should work on a non-SMP system. SMP kernels might work on non-SMP systems, but there would be no advantage.

What is CPU and explain its unit?
The CPU is Central Processing Unit and is basically the brains of the computer. It has no units.
What is another name for a CPU processor?
"CPU" can represent "central processing unit" or "central processor unit." It is the primary computer hardware responsible for input, output, and operating on data. Note that some computers lack a CPU, as computation is spread over multiple units.
Why is there a lot of space in the CPU?
CPU's or Central Processing Units don't have space. They process instructions sent from the computer's bus.
How many types of multiprocessing?
Multi processing is the use of two or more central processing units within a single computer system.There are three types of Multi processing units which includes processor symmetry, instruction and data streams and processor coupling.
What is dual?
A dual processor can be defined as a computer with two central processing units. It can also be defined as a dual-core central processing unit: two processors combined into a single integrated circuit or package. .
What is dual processor means?

What are units within the central processing unit?
DISK
Is central processing units is a type of hardware?
Yes :)
What are the six logical units of computer organization?
nput Output Memory Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) (Part of Central Processing Unit (CPU)) Control Unit (Part of Central Processing Unit (CPU)) Secondary Storage
What is off-line processing of files in computer?
Offline processing refers to processes being redirected from the central processing unit cache into the random access memory units. Speed of processing is inversly proportional to the clock speed of the memory bus in the cpu.
What does the ''Brain'' of the computer which processes the information is known as?
it's known as "CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT" & it is a chip. it has different units to process different types of data
What is micro operation?
Micro-operations are detailed low-level instructions used in some designs of computer central processing units. They mainly implement complex machine instructions.
