C952 Computer Architecture Chapter 7Multiprocessor - correct answer A computer system with at least two processors. This computer is in contrast to a uniprocessor, which has one, and is increasingly hard to find today. Task-level parallelism or process-level parallelism: - correct answer Utilizing multiple processors by running independent programs simultaneously. Parallel processing program - correct answer A single program that runs on multiple processors simultaneously. Cluster - correct answer A set of computers connected over a local area network that function as a single large multiprocessor Multicore microprocessor - correct answer A microprocessor containing multiple processors ("cores") in a single integrated circuit. Virtually all microprocessors today in desktops and servers are multicore. Shared memory multiprocessor (SMP - correct answer A parallel processor with a single physical address space. To benefit from a multiprocessor, an application must be concurrent. - correct answer False: Task-level parallelism can help sequential applications and sequential applications can be made to run on parallel hardware, although it is more challenging. Strong scaling - correct answer Speed-up achieved on a multiprocessor without increasing the size of the problem. Weak scaling - correct answer Speed-up achieved on a multiprocessor while increasing the size of the problem proportionally to the increase in the number of processors.
