Multiprocessing is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) in a single computer system. The processors share the system bus, memory, and I/O, allowing for parallel execution of different processors. Multiprocessing can improve system performance and reliability. Some advantages of multiprocessing include: Increased speed, Increased throughput, and Reliability. Multiprocessor systems can have many types, including: Loosely coupled multiprocessor system: Each processor has its own local memory, input/output (I/O) channels, and operating system. Processors exchange data over a high-speed communication network. Some disadvantages of multiprocessing include: Expensive, Deadlocks, Extra memory requirements, and Complexity. Here are some examples of multiprocessor systems: TRS-80 Model II: Released in 1979, this system had both a Z-80 CPU and an Intel 8021 microcontroller in the keyboard.
