'''MPE''' ('''Multi-Programming Executive''') is a discontinued business-oriented [[mainframe computer]] [[real-time computing|real-time]] [[operating system]] developed by [[Hewlett-Packard]] for their [[HP 3000]] computers.  While the HP 3000s were initially mini-mainframes, the final high-end systems supported 12 [[Central processing unit|CPUs]] and over 2000 simultaneous users.
