Ola Surakhi, Mohammad Khanafseh, Sami Sarhan · Advances in Science Technology and Engineering Systems Journal · 2018
Multicore processor combines two or more independent cores onto one integrated circuit.Although it offers a good performance in terms of the execution time, there are still many metrics such as number of cores, power, memory and more that effect on multicore performance and reduce it.This paper gives an overview about the evolution of the multicore architecture with a comparison between single, Dual and Quad.Then we summarized some of the recent related works implemented using multicore architecture and show the factors that have an effect on the performance of multicore parallel architecture based on their results.Finally, we covered some of the distributed parallel system concepts and present a comparison between them and the multiprocessor system characteristics.
