Previous: Class Example
The previous example illustrates the hardware models by how data is exchanged
among workers.
- Distributed memory
(e.g., Paragon, IBM SPx, workstation network)
- Shared memory
(e.g., SGI Power Challenge, Cray T3D)
Either may be used with SIMD or MIMD software models.
127 All memory is distributed.
