- bee_rider 6y agoThe distinction here is between distributed and shared memory, not between single and multicore programmming. Distributed memory is more often used on clusters. I would say distributed memory is generally considered easier on the hardware, harder on the programmer (although one could argue that a message passing communication scheme is more explicit than fork/join, so the programmer has more control).
