### SMP
#### Shared-Memory Mode
MAPDL can be invoked in so-called smp-mode to make use of threads in order to speedup computation. The multi-threading approach is restricted to one node. In contrast, MAPDL offers a MPI-parallel mode to distribute the computation across multiple nodes. This mode is described below.
