This document discusses different ways to structure shared memory space in a distributed shared memory (DSM) system. It describes three common types: no structuring, where shared memory is a linear array of words; structuring by data type, where memory is organized as objects or variables; and structuring as a database, where memory is ordered like a tuple space database. The document provides details on each type, including advantages like flexibility of page size for no structuring and matching access granularity to object size for structuring by data type.
