What is Asymmetric Multiprocessor system ?. Asymmetric multiprocessor systems are a part of multiprocessor systems along with symmetric multiprocessor systems. Multiprocessor systems have multiple processors working in parallel that share the computer clock, memory, bus etc..
Asymmetric Multiprocessing. A multiprocessing technique in which each processor dedicated to a particular task is called Asymmetric Multiprocessing. It has one master processor and remainder processors are called slave. The master distributes tasks among the slaves. i/o process is usually done by the master on ly..
what it is used ?. It is used when all the scheduling decisions and I/O processing are handled by a single processor called the Master Server . The other processors execute only the user code . This is simple and reduces the need for data sharing..
Asymmetric multiprocessor architecture.
. See the source image. All processor in Asymmetric Multiprocessing may have same or different architecture . Processors need not communicate as they are controlled by the master processor..
Difference between Symmetric & asymmetric multiprocessing.
