What are the devices which contain multiprocessor and multicomputers?
multiprocessor and multicomputer
What is the difference between multicomputer and distributive system?
SOMETHING
Difference between distributed system and multiprocessor system?
The difference between distributed system and multiprocessor system is whether the processing units in the system share the main memory. If yes, then the system is multiprocessor system; otherwise, it's a distributed system.
What difference between cluster system and multiprocessor system?
in cluster system, different CPU's work together to perform a specific task while in multiprocessor system,different CPU's work to perform their own tasks.
What is the Difference between clustered system and multiprocessor system?
is a number of linked systems, working together closely ,so that they form a single computer
What are the characteristics of multiprocessors?
A multiprocessor system is an interconnection of two or more CPUs with memory and input- output equipment. The term "processor" in multiprocessor can mean either a central processing unit (CPU) or an input-output processor (lOP). As it is most commonly defined, a multiprocessor system implies the existence of multiple CPUs, although usually there will be one or more IOPs as well. Multiprocessors are classified as multiple instruction stream, multiple data stream (MIMD) systems. There are some similarities between Multiprocessor and Multicomputer systems since both support concurrent operations. However, there exists important distinction between a system with multiple computers and a system with multiple processors.Computers are interconnected with each other means of communication lines to form a computer network. The network consists of several autonomous computers that may or may not communicate with each other. A multiprocessor system is controlled by one operating system that provides interaction between processors and all the components of the system cooperate in the solution of a problem.
Difference between time sharing and multitasking and multithreading and multiprocessor?
multitasking: more task execute on sevaral cpumultithreading : sevaral part of one program execution
Difference between realtime and multiprocessor scheduling?
uniprocessor : - A type of architecture that is based on a single computing unit. All operations ( additions, multiplications, etc ) are done sequentally on the unit. . multiprocessor : - A type of architecture that is based on multiple computing units. Some of the operations ( not all, mind you ) are done in parallel and the results are joined afterwards.
What is the difference between parallel computing and parallel processing?
Parallel processsing ranges from instruction-level parallelism e.g. superscalar and VLIW to message-passing MIMD also called multicomputer, and also includes SIMD e.g. vector and array processing. Multiprocessing is specifically task parallelism, and is by definition shared-memory MIMD with multiple processor cores, sometimes multiple sockets.
Why do you need multiprocessor environment?
for improving the efficiency of the computer system.In multiprocessor environment , instructions can be executed parallely.
What are example of multiprocessor system?
Multiprocessor systems have gained popularity over the years as they allow the user to do more than they could with a single processor system. Xbox 360, CELL, and Sequent are examples of multiprocessor systems.
What does multiprocessor free and multiprocessor kernel mean in re to OS Build Type?
Multiprocessor is pretty self-explanaatory. "Free" means the production build, as opposed to the development/debug version. Just looked this up myself.
