has its own cache memory that acts as a bridge between the processor and main memory. The function of the cache is to alleviate the need for main-memory data access, thus reducing system-bus traffic.

Use of shared memory allows for a uniform memory-access time (UMA).

cc-NUMA system

It is known that the SMP system has limited scalability. To overcome this limitation, the architecture called "cc-NUMA" (cache coherency-non-uniform memory access) is normally used. The main characteristic of a cc-NUMA system is having shared
