1:- SMP
Symmetric multiprocessing, or SMP, is a multiprocessor computer architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory. Most common multiprocessor systems today use an SMP architecture.
SMP systems allow any processor to work on any task no matter where the data for that task are located in memory; with proper operating system support, SMP systems can easily move tasks between processors to balance the workload efficiently.

2:- To check the RAM size

# dmesg | grep RAM

There are three another way to check memory on Linux

1:- free -t -m
2: vmstat
3: top

Please go thru the man pages for all three commands.
