Multiprocessing under Linux

I'm writing C programs to be executed on a multi-processor UNIX (GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11) Do I need to add a special kind of code to somewhere or run a special utility to execute the program file to be executed by all processors? Or is it handled automatically by kernel?

As far as I know, multiprocessing is managed at the kernel level. You must property configure the Linux kernel for multiprocessing support.

BTW: This server, at the current time, is a dual Xeon Linux platform.
