Which of the following statements is true about symmetric multiprocessing?

  • A.A single copy of the operating system resides in each processor.
  • B.Useful for situations where data must remain in memory to process.
  • C.Bottlenecks increase with uniprocessor systems because tasks are not shared.
  • D.The problems of memory contention are unlikely.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Useful for situations where data must remain in memory to process.

Symmetric multiprocessing gives every processor access to one shared memory, so a large working set can be held once and worked on by all of them. The other options are wrong in detail: one copy of the operating system is shared rather than resident in each processor, and memory contention is the characteristic difficulty of the architecture rather than an unlikely one.
