shared-memory architecture
1Shared Memory Architecture — In computer architecture, Shared Memory Architecture (SMA) refers to a design where the graphics chip does not have its own dedicated memory, and instead shares the main system RAM with the CPU and other components. This design is used with many… …
2Memory architecture — describes the methods used to implement electronic computer data storage in a manner that is a combination of the fastest, most reliable, most durable, and least expensive way to store and retrieve information. Depending on the specific… …
3Shared memory — In computing, shared memory is a memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple programs with an intent to provide communication among them or avoid redundant copies. Depending on context, programs may run on a single processor or on… …
4Shared Nothing Architecture — Die Shared Nothing Architektur (SN) beschreibt eine Distributed Computing Architektur, bei der jeder Knoten unabhängig und eigenständig seine Aufgaben mit seinem eigenen Prozessor und den zugeordneten Speicherkomponenten wie Festplatte und… …
5Shared memory — (dt. „geteilter Speicher“) bezeichnet eine bestimmte Art der Interprozesskommunikation (IPC). Bei dieser Art nutzen zwei oder mehrere Prozesse einen bestimmten Teil des Hintergrundspeichers (RAM) gemeinsam. Für alle beteiligten Prozesse liegt… …
6Distributed shared memory — (DSM), in Computer Architecture is a form of memory architecture where the (physically separate) memories can be addressed as one (logically shared) address space. Here, the term shared does not mean that there is a single centralized memory but… …
7Unified Memory Architecture — Als Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) bezeichnet man Rechnerarchitekturen, in denen verschiedene Komponenten (z. B. die CPU und der Grafikprozessor) zusammen auf einem gemeinsamen Speicher arbeiten, anstatt dedizierten Speicher zu besitzen.… …
8Memory coherence — is an issue that affects the design of computer systems in which two or more processors or cores share a common area of memory.[1][2][3][4] In a uniprocessor system (whereby, in today s terms, there exists only one core), there is only one… …
9Memory ordering — is a group of properties of the modern microprocessors, characterising their possibilities in memory operations reordering. It is a type of out of order execution. Memory reordering can be used to fully utilize different cache and memory banks.… …
10Memory management — is the act of managing computer memory. The essential requirement of memory management is to provide ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and freeing it for reuse when no longer needed. This is critical to …
