Monolithic system
Monolithic system can have different meanings in the contexts of computer software and hardware.A software system is called "monolithic" if it has a monolithic architecture, in which functionally distinguishable aspects are all interwoven, rather than containing architecturally separate components.In hardware
An electronic hardware system, such as a multi-core processor, is called "monolithic" if its components are integrated together in a single integrated circuit. Note that such a system may consist of architecturally separate componentsin a multi-core system, each core forms a separate componentas long as they are realized on a single die.
