Description (
"A ComputerSystem can aggregate another ComputerSystem. This "
"association can be used to model MPP Systems with workstation "
"frontends, an I2O subsystem embedded in a Unitary "
"ComputerSystem, or a System that splits functionality between "
"two processors, potentially running different Operating "
"Systems. For example, if a CISC Processor and its associated "
"OperatingSystem, are used for user interface and file support, "
"and a RISC Processor and its OS are used for complex "
"mathematical operations, this could be modeled as two "
"ComputerSystems where one aggregates the other. In some cases, "
"this could be modeled as a Cluster. The difference is the "
"focus of the relationship. ComponentCS represents that unique "
"and distinct ComputerSystems are aggregated by a higher level "
"CS object. However, each of the component CSs are still "
"distinguishable entities and are only viewed as such. "
"Alternately, with a Cluster, the ComputerSystems that "
"participate in it are inconsequential, when viewed through the "
"\'Cluster System\'. \n"
"\n"
"When instantiating or subclassing the ComponentCS "
"relationship, care should be taken that the component "
"ComputerSystem meets the definitional requirements of a "
"ComputerSystem - ie, a functional whole that provides compute "
"capabilities and aggregates System Devices, an "
"OperatingSystem, etc." )]
