| dc.description.abstract | In this article, we draw a comparative study of microprocessor–based distributed systems, using the two major processors; Intel and AMD. Although the philosophy of their microarchitecture is the same, they differ in their approaches to implementation. Whether to increase the number of cores or to maximize the cores by hyperthreading, many of these features arise from philosophical grounds. These differences have been considered on the basis of their threading capabilities, coprocessor communications, memory accesses, and virtualization supports. . Moreover, the invention of hybrid server of these two processors cannot be compared with that of a server built with their individual processors. From our findings therefore, Intel remains the giant in microprocessor world while AMD on the other hand is in the front line of technological innovations. | en_US |
