Question 21

Which of the following statements accurately describes the characteristics and advantages of message-passing multiprocessors and warehouse-scale computers (WSCs)?
Message-passing multiprocessors use a shared memory architecture, allowing processors to access a common address space for communication.
In message-passing multiprocessors, communication between processors is implicit, and the system automatically manages data transfer and synchronization.
WSCs are typically less cost-effective and less scalable compared to traditional server farms due to their reliance on high-performance, custom-built networks for communication.
Warehouse-scale computers (WSCs) are designed to handle extensive parallelism and operational costs by scaling up to large numbers of servers, providing economies of scale and fault tolerance, and optimizing power distribution and cooling.
