Heterogeneous System Architecture|My homework helper

1. What is the difference between between homogenous and heterogenous system architecture?
2. Where are heterogenous system architecture applied?
3. Why is coherence and consistency between FPGA cache, GPU and CPU in heterogeneous architecture beneficial? 
4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of NUMA structure?
5. Analyze the differences between distributed memory versus local memory (NUMA, NoC etc) in context of GPUs

SOLUTION

Homogeneous system architecture refers to a computing system that uses the same type of hardware components or processing units. For example, a cluster of identical servers or a multicore processor with the same type of cores. On the other hand, heterogeneous system architecture involves using different types of hardware components or processing units, such as CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, or ASICs.
