It uses a multiple instruction-multiple data execution control mode from its distributed memory architecture.
In some cases this provides an advantage to shared memory architectures with lower administration costs.
The paradigm is applicable in multiple settings, independent of network speed or memory architecture.
And I have mixed feelings about the new memory architecture.
It had a segmented virtual memory architecture, somewhat similar to Multics.
The memory architecture is unusual in that it doesn't employ explicit hierarchy or hardware caches.
The K computer is based on a distributed memory architecture with over 80,000 computer nodes.
It was a segmented memory architecture because the registers were too small.
Each 64-bit Cyclops64 chip contains 80 processors, and the entire system uses a globally addressable memory architecture.
Shared memory architecture, where multiple processors share the main memory space.
