I want to make a clear understand the Java Memory Model. So I serch it on the Internet.
Then comes a post(http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/mem...r-133-faq.html).

Because I had some Java code experiences and I know Java is a build-in multithread language.

So I had thought Java Memory Model is used to make some rules on the multithreads before I read this post.

But It begins to confuse me at the very beginning of the first paragraph. The author begins it talking with the multiprocessor systems.

So does author means that there are also multi-virtual-processor in JVM?

Dose a JVM has multiprocessor?

the link you posted does not work. Please try to fix it.
jvm itself has no processor, it will use the CPUs of the system. And yes, it can use one or more CPUs,

this one works

I don't think the java memory model has much relationship with the multiprocessor. cause at any instance the JVM(just a running process of a program) with its all threads is running on one processor. If we must take multiprocessor in consideration it's much like we are talking about communication between processes not threads running in JVM.
I don't know whether I am right.
