[Wien] Shared memory

[Gerhard Fecher]

This means that two or more processores share the memory. Dual Core cpus allways share the memory. Most cases of Dual processors may share the memory. In good workstations, each cpu has its own memory. In cheap computers even the graphic processor and the cpu may also share the memory.
If you have a cluster of single processor machines then each cpu has its own memory.
