Separate-kernels multiprocessor organization.

For each of the following multiprocessor organizations, describe an environment in
which the organization is useful; also, list a drawback for each. What will be an ideal response?

This is useful in environments that might otherwise use a networked operating system. The separate-kernels organization is similar to a networked operating system in that resources are not shared, but the system provides easy communication between nodes. This organization does share some operating system data, which can be used for tuning performance and handling failures at specific nodes. A drawback is that some processors might remain idle while othersbecome overloaded.
