Which of the following are disadvantages of multiprocessing systems? (Choose all that apply)

A.
Latency

B.
Determinism

C.
Overhead

D.
Skew

Explanation:
Multiprocessing systems have four disadvantages, which are:
1. Overhead, which is the time wasted in achieving the required communications and
control status prior to actually beginning the processing request
2. Latency, which is the time delay between initiating a control command, or sending the
command message, and when the processors receive it and begin initiating the process
3. Determinism, which is the degree to which the processing events are precisely
executed
4. Skew, which is a measurement of how far apart events occur in different processors,
when they should occur simultaneously
