Master/slave multiprocessor organizations __________.
a) exhibit high fault tolerance
b) enable many processors to execute the operating system, reducing the likelihood that contention will build up for operating system resources.
c) exploit hardware asymmetry (e.g., if one processor is more powerful than other processors) and known parallelism in computationally-intensive tasks.
d) exhibit high scalability, where adding a processor increases the system throughput by the new processor’s rated capacity.
c) exploit hardware asymmetry (e.g., if one processor is more powerful than other processors) and known parallelism in computationally-intensive tasks.

?Match each correct item with the statement below.
A. ?A RAID configuration consisting of two identical hard disks to which identical data are written in parallel, thus ensuring fault tolerance. Also known as RAID 1. B. A RAID configuration in which a single file is divided into sections, which are then written to different hard disks concurrently to speed up access time; this type of RAID is not fault tolerant. Also known as RAID 0.? C. Term used to describe a device that exhibits a minimum of downtime in the event of a failure.? D. ?The most common boot loader used on Linux systems. It loads and executes the Linux kernel at boot time. E. ?A SCSI technology that transfers data via TCP/IP networks. F. ?A term that refers to a storage device within an iSCSI SAN. G. Term used to describe a CPU that runs faster than the clock speed for which it has been rated.? H. ?A type of RAID level 0 that allows two or more devices to be represented as a single large volume. I. ?A device used to terminate an electrical conduction medium to absorb the transmitted signal and prevent signal bounce. J. ?A high-performance filesystem and volume management software that is often used to create volumes from multiple storage devices on Linux and UNIX systems.
