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.
Elements on the periodic table that display some characteristics of metals and some characteristics of nonmetals are categorized as metalloids. Examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
The three characteristics of color are hue (the actual color), value (the lightness or darkness of a color), and saturation (the intensity or purity of a color).

characteristics of physical properties are; mass, volume,color,size,shape,texture. YOUR WELCOMEE
Special characteristics of materials include conductivity (ability to conduct heat or electricity), magnetism (ability to be attracted to or repelled by a magnet), hardness (resistance to scratching or deformation), and ductility (ability to be stretched without breaking). These characteristics determine how a material can be used in various applications and industries.
