Deleting irrelevant tasks in an expression-orientedmultiprocessorsystem.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To solve this problem in amultiprocessorsystema locking variable can be used to control access to the semaphore.
From
Wikipedia
Software lockout is the major cause of scalability degradation in amultiprocessorsystem, posing a limit on the maximum useful number of processors.
From
Wikipedia
With this switch, you can force amultiprocessorsystemto use only the quantity of processors (number) that you specify.
From
Wikipedia
We consider the problem of fault diagnosis in multiprocessor systems.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For a tightly coupled system, the cost is lower, and indeed most multiprocessor systems implement some sort of test-and-set instruction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Because the cores are physically very close to each other, they can communicate with each other much faster than separate processors in amultiprocessorsystem, which improves overall system performance.
From
Wikipedia
Verifying sequential consistency on shared-memory multiprocessor systems.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Of course, multiprocessor systems add their own complications, which are not addressed here.
From
Wikipedia
In contrast, the performance of conventional multiprocessor systems is limited by the speed of some shared memory, bus, or switch.
From
Wikipedia
Spurious wakeups may sound strange, but on some multiprocessor systems, making condition wakeup completely predictable might substantially slow all condition variable operations.
From
Wikipedia
However, in multiprocessor systems, it is undesirable, if not impossible, to disable interrupts on all processors at the same time.
From
Wikipedia
Memory pages in working sets are trimmed more efficiently for multiprocessor systems depending on how recently they were accessed.
From
Wikipedia
Other enhancements included microcoded multiply and divide instructions and a bus-structure better adapted to future co-processors (such as 8087 and 8089) and multiprocessor systems.
From
Wikipedia
It is used to implement mutual exclusion and concurrent algorithms in multiprocessor systems, a generalization of semaphores.
From
Wikipedia
However, in multiprocessor systems (even with interrupts disabled) two or more processors could be attempting to access the same memory at the same time.
From
Wikipedia
Dataflow languages tend to be inherently concurrent, meaning they are capable of running on multiprocessor systems naturally, one of the reasons that it garnered so much interest in the 1980s.
From
Wikipedia
This approach does not work on multiprocessor systems where it is possible for two programs sharing a semaphore to run on different processors at the same time.
