What is Multiprocessor Architecture?

To understand differences we need to have an understanding of what is a multiprocessor and multicomputer.

As the name suggests “Multiprocessor” in this architecture we have multiple processors that work together and are connected to each other. They have a shared memory. This means they will make changes in the same memory and every processor can access that memory. All of the processors are connected to memory by topology. Like the simplest implementation for understanding Multiprocessor below.

There are multiple different types of computers used for different purposes. Multiprocessors and multicomputers are types of architectures used in the computer. Which multiprocessor is one where multiple processors are used that share the same memory for operating and are connected to function together. While in multicomputer multiple computers that have different processor are connected and each has their own different memory. They share the data to work together. In this article, we will majorly discuss the difference between these two computer architectures and their working.
