Multicore<\/th>\n	Multiprocessor<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
A single\u00a0CPU<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Processor<\/a>\u00a0with two or more \nindependent processing units called cores that are \ncapable of reading and executing program instructions.<\/td>\n	A System with two or more CPUs that allows simultaneous processing of programs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
It\u2019s very Cheaper (single CPU that does not require \nmultiple CPU support system)<\/td>\n	It is Expensive (Multiple separate CPU\u2019s that require a system that supports multiprocessors) as compared to Multicore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
It will have less traffic (cores integrated into a single \nchip and will require less time)<\/td>\n	It will have more traffic (distances between the two will require a longer time)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
It does not need to be configured.<\/td>\n	It needs a little complex configuration.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fast running a single program.<\/td>\n	Fast running multiple programs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Not as reliable as a multiprocessor.<\/td>\n	More reliable since failure in one CPU will not affect the other.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Answer : A single CPU or Processor with two or more independent…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"passster_activate_protection":false,"passster_protect_child_pages":"","passster_protection_type":"password","passster_password":"","passster_activate_overwrite_defaults":"","passster_headline":"","passster_instruction":"","passster_placeholder":"","passster_button":"","passster_id":"","passster_activate_misc_settings":"","passster_redirect_url":"","passster_hide":"no","passster_area_shortcode":"","gtb_hide_title":false,"gtb_wrap_title":false,"gtb_class_title":"","gtb_remove_headerfooter":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7762],"tags":[195,7979,7994,201,491,360,5937,368,203,199,214,7982,7972,209,205,7987,7978,7998,7975,7977,7969,7988,7991,7981,7986,222,484,362,196,212,213,15930,207,7990,7997,7973,7971,7983,7992,7989,7968,7980,7970,7996,366,7976,361,204,7799,367,206,7993,7985,975,200,7974,7984,197,280,364,7995],"class_list":["post-1121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-operating-system","tag-accenture-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-advantages-of-embedded-system","tag-advantages-of-multiprocessor-system","tag-allstate-solutions-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-applied-materials-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-atos-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-aveva-software-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-bmc-software-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-capgemini-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-casting-networks-india-pvt-limited-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-cgi-group-inc-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-characteristics-of-multiprocessor","tag-classification-of-multiprocessor-system","tag-collabera-technologies-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-dell-international-services-india-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-difference-between-computer-network-and-distributed-system","tag-difference-between-core-and-processor","tag-difference-between-multicore-and-multiprocessor","tag-difference-between-multicore-and-multithreadingi","tag-difference-between-multicore-and-parallel","tag-difference-between-multiprocessor-and-multicore-architecture","tag-difference-between-multiprogramming-and-multiprocessing","tag-difference-between-multitasking-and-multiprocessing","tag-distributed-os","tag-embedded-systems-examples","tag-flipkart-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-genpact-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-hcl-technologies-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-ibm-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-indecomm-global-services-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-infosys-technologies-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-magicbricks-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-mphasis-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-multi-core-processor","tag-multicomp","tag-multicore-and-multi","tag-multicore-processorsfirst-dual-core-cpu","tag-multicore-system","tag-multiprocessing-operating-system","tag-multiprocessing-os","tag-multiprocessor-and-multicore-organization-in-operating-system","tag-multiprocessor-computer","tag-multiprocessor-system","tag-multiprocessor-system-in-os","tag-netapp-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-ntel-multiprocessor-architecture","tag-opentext-technologies-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-oracle-corporation-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-prokarma-sof-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-rbs-india-development-centre-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-sap-labs-india-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-shared-memory-multiprocessor","tag-system-software-examples","tag-tata-consultancy-service-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-tech-mahindra-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-threading-in-operating-system","tag-types-of-multiprocessor","tag-unitedhealth-group-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-virtusa-consulting-services-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-wells-fargo-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-what-is-multiprocessing"],"yoast_head":"\n
