Increasing the number of CPUs in a computer system tends to increase system performance. There are different types of multiprocessor architectures available today. These include the master-slave multiprocessing (MSMP) architecture and symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) architecture.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in = which you:
Compare and contrast the MSMP a= nd SMP architectures in terms of:
- memory access
- I/O reso= urces access
- instruction execution throughput
Hyperthreading refers to the parallel execution two (2) or more threads simultaneously. Determine if hyperthreading is possible with MSMP and SMP. Support your answer.
- Evaluate the type of applications that the MSMP architecture is well suited for. Explain why these applications are well suited for this architecture.
- Evaluate the type of applications the SMP architecture is well suited for. Explain why these applications are well suited for this architecture.
- Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
