Parallel Random Access Machine




The operation of a Synchronous PRAM can result in simultaneous access by multiple Processor s to the same location in Shared Memory . There are several variants of our PRAM model, depending on whether such simultaneous access is permitted or prohibited. As accesses can be ''reads'' or ''writes'', there are four possibilities:

#Exclusive Read Exclusive Write
#Concurrent Read Exclusive Write
#Exclusive Read Concurrent Write (never considered)
#Concurrent Read Concurrent Write
