Multiprocessing |
•any CPU architecture in which duplicateCPUs or processor stages can execute at the same time |
|
|
•Electronic switches |
–Control electrical current flow in acircuit –Implemented as transistors |
|
|
A Gate |
•a circuit that can perform a processingfunction on a single binary electrical signal, or bit.
The 1-bit and 2-bit processing functionsperformed by gates include the logical functions AND, OR, XOR, and NOT. |
