== Tightly coupled multiprocessor system ==

(or shared memory system)

Multiprocessor system with a shared memory closely connected to the processors.

Line 42:

* [[Symmetric Multiprocessor System]]

==== Heterogeneous Multiprocessormultiprocessor Systemsystem ====

A [[Heterogeneous System Architecture|Heterogeneous Multiprocessing System]] itself refers to systems that contain multiple not homogeneous processing units – central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), or any type of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The system architecture allows any accelerator, for instance a graphics processor, to operate at the same processing level as the system's CPU.

==== Symmetric Multiprocessormultiprocessor system ====

([[Symmetric Multiprocessor System|SMP]])

Line 90:

* Tightly coupled architectures feature by reverse an easy load balancing and distribution among processors but suffer from the bottleneck consisting in the sharing of common resources through one or more buses (which is also a common resource)
