Commanding parallel system architectures

In the last few years, multiple varieties of computing models provisioning great processing performance have been developed. They are classified depending on the memory allocated to their processors and how their alignment is designed. Some of the important parallel systems are as follows:

• MPP
• SMP
• CC-NUMA
• Distributed systems
• Clusters

Let's get into a little more detail about each of these system architectures and review some of their important performance characteristics.

MPP

MPP, as the name suggests, is a huge parallel processing system developed in a shared nothing architecture. Such systems usually contain a large number of processing nodes that are integrated with a high...
