Multiprocessing refers to the ability of an operating system to manage and support multiple processors or cores on a single computer. This allows for a division of labor among all the processing units, which can lead to improved system performance and faster processing times. Multithreading and multitasking also support some level of division of labor, but they specifically refer to the ability of a single processor to handle multiple tasks or threads simultaneously.
