The IBM terms, at least for IBM mainframe systems, are
multitasking (more than one task running), and multiprocessing
(more than one processor running those tasks).

What do you call multiprocessing?  What do you call running
on more than one processor?  (There are symmetric and
attached processor systems, depending on I/O being
done by both, or only one, processor.)
