Objects can be shared between processes using a server process or for simple data shared memory. Efficient synchronization of multiprocessors with shared memory. Objectoriented techniques are shown to hold promise for addressing the growing speed gap between memory and processors on shared memory multiprocessors. Each process has its own memory space it uses to store the instructions being run, as well as any data it needs to store and access to execute. Shared memory multiprocessors obtained by connecting full processors together processors have their own connection to memory processors are capable of independent execution and control thus, by this definition, gpu is not a multiprocessor as the gpu cores are not.
