I'm looking for people's definitions of the degree of coupling between
processors. Here are some that I think aren't unreasonable:
* a measure of the interprocess channel bandwidth utilisation
* closely coupled processors tend to be spatially close together, for
example, on a bus
* a measure of the amount of buffering present in the network between
processing elements
* the degree of overhead in sending data from one processor to another
I personally feel that the last two are the "best" definitions. However,
any comments on these definitions, or others, are certainly welcome.
