For a study I am doing as part of a course on system design, I have
to compare uniprocessor(UP) systems and multiprocessor(MP) systems
from the user's standpoint.

Given comparable mip ratings claims on two systems, one UP and one
MP (1) what are the reasons that will make the MP preferable,(2) why
would a UP system be preferable.
