Talk:Asymmetric multiprocessing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does Asymmetric multiprocessing refer to identical processors asymmetrically sharing the workload, or does it also encompass dissimilar processors working together on the same task? For example, do the SNES and the Playstation 2 qualify as being asymetrically multiprocessing? --Martin Rudat(T|@|C) 02:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about the SNES, but IMHO the PS2 and the PS3 would qualify as an asymmetric system. --Pezezin 23:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
