Abstract

As computer technology has evolved, system architects have continually sought new ways to exploit the decreasing costs of system components. One approach has been to pull together collections of units into multiprocessor systems. Usually the objectives have been to gain increased operating power through parallelism and/or to gain increased system reliability through redundancy.
