Study Notes
Multi-processor Systems
- Distributed memory multi-processors are called loosely-coupled processors.
- The purpose of communication links in loosely-coupled multi-processors is to enable data exchange between processors.
- Communication links within the network of processors are supported through interconnection networks, which provide a channel for data transfer.
- The purpose of synchronisation in multi-processors is to coordinate actions between processors, ensuring data consistency and preventing clashes.
- In a multi-processor, the sender and receiver execute a defined data transfer during a handshake protocol, which ensures data is transmitted correctly and in the right order.
