Hardware architecture

The hardware architecture provides several capabilities that are required for multiprocessing. Recent PC hardware architectures include a number of performance enhancements (such as per-processor data/instruction caches, fast memory/CPU bus, and high-speed I/O systems) that were once found only in the large-scale environments of minicomputers and mainframes. SCO multiprocessing systems use the following hardware features:
