What does shared memory look like for a Hybrid CPU + GPU?

autumnust

@mpcomplete I think the words colon are example abstractions.

Hybrid CPU+GPU is a form of parallelism, while it requires things like shared memory to provide programmers an abstraction for usability.

The same relation hold for SIMD/Multi-threading with other points, like the first one: The way to achieve sync or communication on a singe core is a form of parallelism, while SIMD is an abstraction.
