3 differences between multiprocessor and multcomputer
1) Architecture and Design: Multiprocessors are designed as a single system with multiple processors connected to a common memory, while multicomputers are composed of individual computers (nodes) connected through a network.
2) Memory Sharing: In multiprocessors, all processors can access and share a single memory space, which allows for efficient sharing of data. In contrast, multicomputers have distributed memory, where each node has its own separate memory and data must be explicitly communicated between nodes.
3) Scalability: Multiprocessors are generally more limited in terms of scalability compared to multicomputers. Multiprocessors have a limited number of processors that can be connected due to potential bottlenecks in memory access and communication. In contrast, multicomputers can be more easily scaled by adding more independent nodes to the network.
