1Uniprocessor system — A uniprocessor system is a computer system with a single central processing unit. As more and more computers employ multiprocessing architectures, such as SMP and MPP, the term is used to refer to systems that still have only one CPU. Although… …
2IBM System/360 Model 67 — The IBM System/360 Model 67 (S/360 67) was an important IBM mainframe model in the late 1960s. It first shipped in July 1966. Unlike the rest of the S/360 series, it included features to facilitate time sharing applications, notably virtual… …
3Full system simulator — A full system simulator is a computer program that simulates computer systems at such a level of detail that complete software stacks from real systems can run on the simulator without any modification. A full system simulator effectively… …
4Symmetric multiprocessing — In computing, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) involves a multiprocessor computer hardware architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory and are controlled by a single OS instance. Most common… …
5DECsystem — was a line of server computers from Digital Equipment Corporation. They were based on MIPS architecture processors and ran DEC s version of the UNIX operating system, called Ultrix. They ranged in size from workstation style desktop enclosures to …
6Distributed computing — is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems. A distributed system consists of multiple autonomous computers that communicate through a computer network. The computers interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal …
7PDP-11 — This article is about the PDP 11 series of minicomputers. For the PDP 11 processor architecture, see PDP 11 architecture. The PDP 11 was a series of 16 bit minicomputers sold by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from 1970 into the 1990s, one of …
8Mutual exclusion — For the concept, see Mutually exclusive events. mutex redirects here. For the computer program object that negotiates mutual exclusion among threads, see lock (computer science). Mutual exclusion (often abbreviated to mutex) algorithms are used… …
9Memory coherence — is an issue that affects the design of computer systems in which two or more processors or cores share a common area of memory.[1][2][3][4] In a uniprocessor system (whereby, in today s terms, there exists only one core), there is only one… …
