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.
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.
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.

Multiprocessor Operating Systems
In multiprocessor systems, failure of one processor will not halt the system, but only slow it down by sharing the work of failure system by other systems. This ability to continue providing service is proportional to the surviving hardware is called graceful degradation.
multiprocessor and multicomputer
A multi-core processor is one which combines what are essentially multiple CPUs into a single chip. As far as the operating system and other software are concerned, it is the same as a dual or quad-cpu computer system, even though the cpus are physically one single unit.
explain the all instruction in micro processer with example
it is set of data to according database and that not effected of any schedule system.
is a number of linked systems, working together closely ,so that they form a single computer
Actually there is no OS the all system is as a client system which is used distributuion os app we say that its multiprocessor.
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.
