Transcript
Computer-System Architecture
 Most systems use a single general-purpose processor (PDAs through
mainframes)

Most systems have special-purpose processors as well
 Multiprocessors systems growing in use and importance

Also known as parallel systems, tightly-coupled systems

Advantages include

1.
Increased throughput
2.
Economy of scale
3.
Increased reliability – graceful degradation or fault tolerance
Two types
1.
Asymmetric Multiprocessing
2.
Symmetric Multiprocessing
