Distributed memory
Distributed memory refers to a computing architecture where each computer or processor has its own private memory. In this setup, multiple computers work together on a common task, but they communicate over a network to share information. Each unit operates independently, using its own memory space, making it efficient for parallel processing. This model is commonly used in high-performance computing, allowing for complex calculations and data processing by dividing tasks among several machines, which helps to speed up performance and improve reliability.
