Adaptability is a key feature of multiprocessor systems. Even if it's helpful, this enhancement adds complexity to the system's architecture.

A(n) _____ is a measure of CPU or computer system performance when per-forming specific tasks.

If a microprocessor has a cycle time of 0.5 nanoseconds, what’s the processor clock rate? If the fetch cycle is 40% of the processor cycle time, what memory access speed is required to implement load operations with zero wait states and load operations with two wait states?

One of the many benefits of multiprocessor systems is increased adaptability. While this is a benefit, it does raise the complexity of the system's design.
