Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

An advantage of the use of ____ approach in shared-memory space is that it is convenient to choose any suitable page size as the unit of sharing and a fixed grain size may be used for all applications.

A	structuring as a database
B	no structuring
C	structuring by data type
D	None of the mentioned

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Advantages of Distributed Shared Memory: This provides a large virtual memory space. It can handle large and ‘complex databases without sending data to the processor. Protect programmers from receiving and sending primitives. This is less expensive as compared to a multiprocessor system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The page based approach organizes shared memory into pages of fixed size. In contrast, the object based approach organizes the shared memory region as an abstract space for storing shareable objects of variable sizes. Another commonly seen implementation uses a tuple space, in which the unit of sharing is a tuple.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. In computer science, distributed shared memory (DSM) is a form of memory architecture where the (physically separate) memories can be addressed as one (logically shared) address space.
