What is shared memory?
Think about how memory access works in a multi-core processor.
What is distributed memory?
Consider systems where each CPU has its memory.
What type of memory architecture allows all processors to access a common area?
Think about scenarios with multi-core processors.
True or False: Distributed memory systems can experience contention issues.
Remember how distributed systems work.
Considering a high-performance AI application, how could you structure your architecture to optimize both access speed and communication overhead? Design both a shared memory and distributed memory model and explain the trade-offs.
Think about how latency and contention affect performance.
Evaluate a scenario where using shared memory might result in bottlenecks. Discuss how you would redesign the system using distributed memory for better performance.
Consider heavy-load scenarios where too many access requests are made to the memory.
