Clustered System

Question 1

1. Clustered system is another type of multi CPU system.

Answer 1

2. Clustered system differs from multiprocessor system, as it is composed of two or more individual systems coupled together.

Question 2

3. They have independent computer systems with a common storage and the systems work together.

Answer 2

4. Clustered systems gather together multiple CPUs to accomplish computational work, in the earliest symmetric clustering system.

Question 3

5. In the symmetric clustering system, two or more nodes, all run applications as well as monitor each other.

Answer 3

6. Symmetric clustering system is more efficient than asymmetric clustering system, as it uses all the hardware and doesn’t keep a node merely as a hot standby.
