What are three advantages and one disadvantages of multiprocessor system? Ans: The difference between symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing is that in Symmetric processing treats all processors as equals; I/O can be processed on any of them‚ while Asymmetric processing designates one CPU as the master‚ which is the only one capable of performing I/O; the master

quite well on unloaded networks‚ as dis- cussed in Section 7.1‚ it was interesting to test the performance in a more hostile environment. WANs would be an example of a such a hostile environment‚ where the previously mentioned asymmetric network paths may occur. These asymmetric paths are‚ as explained in Section 2.3.1‚ not possible to differentiate from the clock offset. The accuracy of NTP can therefore quickly degrade in these environments. As explained in Section 7.1‚ the average difference may

His early work described inefficiencies that arise in bilateral relationships‚ for example bargaining under asymmetric information (Williamson 1979). Later on he studied relationship-specific assets and hold-up situations. The concept of hold-up was developed by Klein‚ Crawford and Alchian in their paper Vertical Integration‚ Appropriable QuasiRents‚ and the Competitive
