  2. Distributed shared memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_shared_memory

    Software DSM systems can be implemented in an operating system, or as a programming library and can be thought of as extensions of the underlying virtual memory architecture. When implemented in the operating system, such systems are transparent to the developer; which means that the underlying distributed memory is completely hidden from the ...

  4. Distributed memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_memory

    In computer science, distributed memory refers to a multiprocessor computer system in which each processor has its own private memory. [1] Computational tasks can only operate on local data, and if remote data are required, the computational task must communicate with one or more remote processors.

  5. Multiple instruction, multiple data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_instruction...

    The operating system usually maintains its memory coherence. [4] From a programmer's point of view, this memory model is better understood than the distributed memory model. Another advantage is that memory coherence is managed by the operating system and not the written program.

  6. Shared-memory architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared-memory_architecture

    A shared-memory architecture (SM) is a distributed computing architecture in which the nodes share the same memory as well as the same storage. [1]It contrasts with shared-nothing architecture, in which each node has distinct memory and storage, and with shared-disk architecture, in which the nodes share the same storage but not the same memory.

  7. Category:Distributed computing architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Distributed...

    Architectural, organisational, and engineering aspects of distributed computing. Computer architectures, software architectures, software frameworks, and network architectures related to distributed computing and distributed systems. Different "styles" of distributed computing.

  8. Shared memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_memory

    An illustration of a shared memory system of three processors. In computer science, shared memory is memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple programs with an intent to provide communication among them or avoid redundant copies. Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between programs.

  9. Symmetric multiprocessing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_multiprocessing

    Diagram of a symmetric multiprocessing system. Symmetric multiprocessing or shared-memory multiprocessing [1] (SMP) involves a multiprocessor computer hardware and software architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single, shared main memory, have full access to all input and output devices, and are controlled by a single operating system instance that treats all ...
