==Shared memory vs. distributed memory vs. distributed shared memory== * The advantage of (distributed) shared memory is that it offers a unified address space in which all data can be found. * The advantage of distributed memory is that it excludes race conditions, and that it forces the programmer to think about data distribution. * The advantage of distributed (shared) memory is that it is easier to design a machine that scales with the algorithm Distributed shared memory hides the mechanism of communication, it does not hide the latency of communication.
