Multiprocessor - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Computer System Architectures

Computer systems can be categorized into single-processor and multiprocessor systems. Single-processor systems have one main CPU but may also contain special-purpose processors. Multiprocessor systems have multiple processors that share resources, offering advantages like increased throughput, econo

Evolution of Operating Systems over the Decades

Operating systems have evolved over the past 50 years through distinct phases, from the early history of primitive machines in the 1940s and 1950s to the development of batch processing systems in the 1960s and multimode time-sharing systems in the 1970s. The 1980s marked the era of personal computi
