MIPS32 1004K coherent processing system is a multithreaded, multiprocessor licensable IP multiprocessor platform that supports up to four single- or double-threaded processor cores connected together ...

The multiprocessor operating system allocates tasks toprocessors based on system loads. However, general-purposemultiprocessors are often homogeneous, which simplifies many schedulingdecisions.

Applications continue to grow in size and sophistication. Spreading applications across multiple processors and network nodes increases complexity due to interprocess communication, but there are ways ...
