    In shared memory model the processors are all connected to a "globally available" memory, via either software or hardware means. The operating system usually maintains its memory coherence. [4] From a programmer's point of view, this memory model is better understood than the distributed memory model.

  3. Shared memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_memory

    An illustration of a shared memory system of three processors. In computer science, shared memory is memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple programs with an intent to provide communication among them or avoid redundant copies. Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between programs.

  4. Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson–Shiffrin_memory...

    The Atkinson–Shiffrin model (also known as the multi-store model or modal model) is a model of memory proposed in 1968 by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin. [1] The model asserts that human memory has three separate components: a sensory register, where sensory information enters memory,

  5. Distributed computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing

    Shared-memory programs can be extended to distributed systems if the underlying operating system encapsulates the communication between nodes and virtually unifies the memory across all individual systems. A model that is closer to the behavior of real-world multiprocessor machines and takes into account the use of machine instructions, such as ...

  6. Inter-process communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication

    Shared memory: Multiple processes are given access to the same block of memory, which creates a shared buffer for the processes to communicate with each other. All POSIX systems, Windows Message passing: Allows multiple programs to communicate using message queues and/or non-OS managed channels. Commonly used in concurrency models.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    Frank Dance's helical model of communication was initially published in his 1967 book Human Communication Theory. [161] [162] [163] It is intended as a response to and an improvement over linear and circular models by stressing the dynamic nature of communication and how it changes the participants. Dance sees the fault of linear models as ...

    The Oscillator Based Associative Recall (OSCAR) Model was proposed by Browne, Preece and Hulme in 2000 [7] The OSCAR Model is another cue driven model of memory. In this model, the cues work as a pointer to a memory’s position in the mind. Memories themselves are stored as context vectors on what Brown calls the oscillator part of the theory.

  9. Multi-communicating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-communicating

    Multi-communicating is the act of managing multiple conversations simultaneously. [1] The term was coined by Reinsch, Turner, and Tinsley, who proposed that simultaneous conversations can be conducted using an array of media, including face-to-face, phone, and email tools for communication.
