<entry>
Compile in support for SMP simulation. This allows you to boot Linux and
maybe other OSes in SMP mode, and bochs will simulate all the different
CPUs and communication between them. Do not expect this option to speed
up your simulation! On the contrary, it has to spend extra time simulating
the different CPUs (even if they're mostly idle) and the communication
between them. Use it to try out an SMP OS if you don't have an SMP machine,
or to debug SMP OS drivers. Refer to <xref linkend="SMP"> for more details
on SMP in Bochs.

<entry>--enable-apic</entry>
<entry>no</entry>
<entry>
In an SMP machine, there is an APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller) built into each processor and a separate I/O APIC. The
APICs are used for inter-processor communication, so they must be
enabled for SMP to work. The default is "no" when there is one
processor and "yes" when there is more than one processor. Normally,
the default is correct and you would never need to type this option.
