Consequently, a good multiprocessing environment should allow control over the "ownership" of a chunk of memory by a particular CPU. Perhaps more surprisingly, similar issues are relevant on a typical multicore laptop, due to differences in the speed of main memory and the cache.

In a cluster, it's fairly obvious that a given CPU will have fastest access to the RAM within the same computer (node). There are two major factors that influence performance: the speed of the CPUs themselves, and the speed of their access to memory. Harnessing the power of these multiple CPUs allows many computations to be completed more quickly. Most modern computers possess more than one CPU, and several computers can be combined together in a cluster. Edit on GitHub Multi-processing and Distributed ComputingĪn implementation of distributed memory parallel computing is provided by module Distributed as part of the standard library shipped with Julia.
