Understanding Memory Models For Parallel Programming

The newly developed memory management model that could be vital in role of performance enhancement of parallel programming is Partitioned Global Address Space(PGAS) Model. We shall discuss more about it later in this document. The models that were important in creating PGAS Model are described well in below links:

1. Shared Memory
2. Distributed Memory

Based upon this two PGAS system came into existence which takes best of both. More information on it can be found at Review Memory Models
