Mémoire partagée (communication inter-processus)Dans un contexte de la programmation concurrente, le partage de mémoire est un moyen de partager des données entre différents processus : une même zone de la mémoire vive est accédée par plusieurs processus. C'est le comportement de la mémoire de threads issus d'un même processus. Pour cela, dans un système utilisant la pagination, la table de page de chaque processus contient les pages mémoires communes, mais chaque processus ne les voit pas nécessairement à la même adresse.

Scratchpad memoryScratchpad memory (SPM), also known as scratchpad, scratchpad RAM or local store in computer terminology, is an internal memory, usually high-speed, used for temporary storage of calculations, data, and other work in progress. In reference to a microprocessor (or CPU), scratchpad refers to a special high-speed memory used to hold small items of data for rapid retrieval. It is similar to the usage and size of a scratchpad in life: a pad of paper for preliminary notes or sketches or writings, etc.
Heterogeneous System ArchitectureHeterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is a cross-vendor set of specifications that allow for the integration of central processing units and graphics processors on the same bus, with shared memory and tasks. The HSA is being developed by the HSA Foundation, which includes (among many others) AMD and ARM. The platform's stated aim is to reduce communication latency between CPUs, GPUs and other compute devices, and make these various devices more compatible from a programmer's perspective, relieving the programmer of the task of planning the moving of data between devices' disjoint memories (as must currently be done with OpenCL or CUDA).
