MultiSocketSystemen
MultiSocketSystemen, also known as multi-socket systems, refer to computer systems that utilize multiple processor sockets. This configuration allows for the installation of multiple central processing units (CPUs) within a single chassis. The primary advantage of multi-socket systems is increased processing power and parallelism, which can significantly enhance performance for certain types of workloads, such as scientific computing, data analysis, and high-performance computing (HPC) tasks.
In multi-socket systems, each CPU operates independently and can execute its own set of instructions simultaneously.
The design of multi-socket systems also includes robust interconnects between the CPUs, such as QuickPath Interconnect
Multi-socket systems are commonly used in servers, workstations, and high-end desktop computers. They are favored by
