Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you will be able to
Identify the significance of Multicore Architectures
Compare and contrast the symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessors
Analyze the parallelism in software and hardware
Multicore processor is viewed as the future production of microprocessor design. It is not only a solution for CPU speeds, but it also decreases the power consumption because many cores in a lower frequency collectively produce less heat dissipation than one core with their total frequency. From this point of view, Cloud computing is mostly built on top of multicore technologies. However, to fully take advantage of the computational capability and the other advantages of multicores, ...
