multiprocessing
what is symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing?
Posted Answers
In multiprocessing each processor runs an identical copy of the OS ,and then copies communicate with one another as needed.There is no master slave configuration.All processors are peer.
In Asymmetric multiprocessing each processor controls the system ,and the other processors either look for master for instructions or have predefined task.This is a master-slave configuration where master processor schedules and allocates work to the slave processor.
