How Does Multiprocessor System Work?

On a multiprocessor machine, each processor and RAM is connected through the system bus. Hence the system bus is the hardware path used by the processors to access the system memory as well as to access each other. But going through the slow system bus will slow down the processing.

Where are multiprocessor systems used?

Multiprocessor systems are being used successfully today to improve performance in systems running multiple programs concurrently. In addition, multiprocessor systems have shown the ability to improve single-program performance significantly for certain applications containing easily parallelized loops.

What is the use of multiprocessor system?

A Multiprocessor is a computer system with two or more central processing units (CPUs) share full access to a common RAM. The main objective of using a multiprocessor is to boost the system's execution speed, with other objectives being fault tolerance and application matching.
